On transporters and being bounced- one simple thing that could totally screw up even a well surveyed and planned transporter assault: stringing ropes around the area to change the layout.

Jamming teleporters

Simplest way to jam a teleporter - string ropes across the large areas they'd be teleporting into.

More technological - if warp envelopes (a related technology) are 'finicky' then someone studying the stability of those envelopes would realize that turning those studies on their head would come up with a jammer. My bet is that it would require knowing about the teleporter system and the characteristics of their warp bubbles. That way, someone can take advantage of those characteristics to collapse them unexpectedly, or cause a bounce where there should be none. Also, you might be able to brute force your way through the jamming (if you've got enough power).
