Adapt, survive, get over it. I think they made a good call, here, and can't be too judgmental about their not foreseeing the problem.

In real life, if someone asks you to build a boat and then, when you deliver it, they say, "There's actually no water here. We want a plane instead," your performance isn't judged on the effectiveness of your boat as an airplane.
In this case, we are in no position to make material changes to our product in response to the shifting requirements and we will be judged, in terms of our performance on the field, based on the outdated result.
Apples and oranges, in my opinion.
