I'll have to disagree with Option D. Keeping quiet and letting the delays speak for themselves is just asking for trouble down the line.

I think option D is not a good approach, it's important to communicate issues rather than just log them.

Haha, Option C is what I wish I could send sometimes, but probably not the most professional. 'Typical' is a little too passive-aggressive.

I'd go with Option A. Being upfront that you can't proceed until you have the updated design document is the most clear and responsible approach.
