We've worked with her for 14 months — relationship is strong, but her CEO is now asking questions. The delay is on our side (vendor issue). Acknowledge the impact, own it without over-apologizing, share the new go-live date (April 28), and offer a 30-min call this week to walk her through the mitigation plan. 180 words max, professional but human.
