be carved/set in stone
if an arrangement, a plan, or a rule is set in stone, it is completely fixed so that it cannot be changed. The rules aren't set in stone; they can be altered to suit changing circumstances. (usually negative) These are just a few ideas to be discussed - nothing is carved in stone.
