Should I ask my superior to belay my request?

The term “Belay” is often used to cancel an order in military settings. It just means the cancellation of a project. The definition indicates it just means the cancellation of your project. Would asking a superior contribute an improper tone to the request?

Is there a future for me to go back to?
