Answer

"To knock something on the head" is an idiom. It means that something (usually a plan) has been cancelled or finished.
For example, my friends and I are planning on going to the movies, but when we go to catch a bus to get there, we find there aren't any buses running at the right time. We could say that the lack of buses knocked our plans on the head, or "that knocked it on the head."
