A bog is a place that has a lot of mud (wet earth). The problem with a bog is that you can get stuck there, unable to move. Have you ever driven a car into a very wet and muddy place, and gotten stuck? Being bogged down is a lot like that: it means that you can't move very well or very quickly. It works as an adjective, and we usually use it with the verbs be or get. Here are a few examples:
The project was going very well until we got bogged down trying to choose a provider.
Don't get bogged down by the details! You have to focus on the main objective.
The team was bogged down and couldn't seem to produce any interesting work.
