What you described is a waterfall.

If you want to deliver quality stuff, you have to iterate fast a ask for feedback.

They screwed up be ause they spent too much time on the initial phase. During that time they should have already prepared few PoCs that could transform into MVP by now.

Also customer feedback usually trumps top-down opinions even when operating in a waterfall model. I've rescued a few "ScrumFall" projects by just ignoring sunk-costs and seeing how fast you can iterate to an MVP from what you have. If you real customers that find value in the smaller scope project - it trumps the political battle around what the scope really should be and buys you credibility to adjust timelines and iterate more in the future.
