can’t see the forest for the trees

An expression used of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole: “The congressman became so involved in the wording of his bill that he couldn’t see the forest for the trees; he did not realize that the bill could never pass.” [http://www.bartleby.com/59/4/cantseethefo.html The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002.]
