<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

So today I got played in a bout of corporate politics.  I'm trying to get stuff done for two projects that have similar deliverables.  While I *could* ignore a couple of rules and get everyone what they need very quickly, I'm trying to do everything by the books.  It turns out that by the books is a rather slow process in a big corporation.  This has one manager peeved that they can't yet have what they asked for a couple of months ago.  (yes, *that* slow)

Anyway, since both deliverables have the same final steps, I packaged them together and submitted them in two different systems for approval.  System A is all about how the deliverables will be deployed, not so much the why.  System B is requesting someone else with the correct level of access to do the final bit.  Enter the politics.  A manager who really wants the first deliverable doesn't like the second deliverable even though it's not for her.  She tells another manager (who must approve everything through system B) not to allow it through.  There was a lot of back and forth, escalating to other managers, etc.  I addressed every single legitimate concern that was raised, yet they still don't want to see the second deliverable go through.  They finally demand that the second deliverable be removed.  Well, since system A is all procedural, it had already been fully approved and couldn't be edited.  So I scrapped my entry there and started a new one.  What's this?  Mandatory three business day lead time you say?  Sounds good to me, I'll set it out four just to be safe..  I'll even ignore the little "urgent" check-box.. **Submit**

So what about that second deliverable?  Well, I've decided to ignore a couple of rules and they'll get what they want tomorrow as promised!

Sorry, I suck at story telling, but at least I feel a little better.
<bot>: Manager demanding their stuff yesterday backstabs me so I use their own process to add four more days to their delivery date while circumventing their attempt to sabotage someone else's stuff.
