For many visa applications, you need a flight reservation that shows you have purchased a round trip to your destination and back. But when you buy a flight there is a change your visa application won't be approved and then you already spent money. Yes, I know you can get cancellation insurance, but you have to do some extra administrative work before you get your money back.

So is it possible to make a flight reservation without paying for it right away and pay for it after you visa application is approved?

You can buy trip cancellation insurance.

Visa refusal is covered by all policies that I've ever seen (and used.)

What I've seen people do is to get a fully refundable ticket which costs way higher than a normal low fare ticket. The advantage is that you can cancel this ticket and get all the money you put upfront if you happen to change your plans.
