The decision will at best cause a lengthy delay to building at the Newmarket site just off the M62 motorway, which the Wildcats had hoped would be ready for the season after next.
Wakefield are one of three clubs - Salford and Castleford are the others - whose bid for a renewal of their Super League licence hinges on their ability to move into a new stadium by 2012.
"With Super League licensing looking closely at facilities, this delay is a huge blow," said Wakefield chief executive James Elston.
"Rugby league has been synonymous with the City of Wakefield for 137 years and this delay could put that in jeopardy.
"We now need to conduct further meetings with the developer, the Community Trust and with other stakeholders to review the contingency plans that were put in place in the event of such a delay in planning."
