They didn't complain about your other duties being delayed?
Especially the other projects that were hidden on someone's desk until a week before the deadline. And now they have two or more projects like that simultaneously
No argument from me; the management was chaos at that place. Those kinds of mistakes were beyond my control, but fortunately they were rare.
