The definition of behind the curve refers to something or someone who is not quite able to keep up or not quite up to the times. If you are behind the curve, you are behind or out of touch with current trends or developments. The opposite of behind the curve is ahead of the curve that means to take action to prevent a problem rather than waiting until it occurs, when the action would be less effective.

(a volte bisogna/è utile) restare indietro per passare avanti
Immagino sia ricalcato sul detto calcistico "nach dem Spiel ist vor dem Spiel", vedi qua:

per le sfumature di significato.
La resa dipende da come è costruita la frase e dal contesto in cui si trova, che purtroppo non riporti. La mia è una proposta fra le tante possibili.
In inglese trovo pochissimi riscontri per l'espressione. Uno è questo:
Unwilling To Change or I would say "stay fresh" because people are always looking for the newest and most innovative toy. I have learned from Apple that sometimes staying a little behind the curve but DESIGNING well makes for success...
Let me put a spin on it, sometimes behind the curve is ahead of the curve. behind is the new ahead.
