I can physically get all of the work done to get in the next release. The problem our change process, which because of the missed milestones, would take an act of God (or a meeting with some vice presidents) to get done. There is no way that ADL or his protege want to have to explain this to a VP.

To further complicate things, ADL and his protege are in a different department, so all I can do is ask them nicely to do their work and escalate when they don't. I have done both.

So, in order to get permission to continue, ADL and company would have to basically make the case to executives that they screwed up but this is too important to not do. Once again, they will never publicly admit the failure, so this will die.
