I doubt that this was the real reason, project and time management software with the same functionality is widespread. There is likely more to this. (I'm not saying you're not truthful, just that I don't think this was really the reason why it was pushed back by those that did).
It could be, for example, that the application due to it's SaaS nature did not fully comply with some regulations regarding safe harbour. These might have required the SaaS to be hosted in specific countries. Or management decided otherwise, or any other reason.
