1. Do everything needed to prep for the install as per vendor recommendations and best practices.
2. Write up massive documentation about the install to hand over to the integrator.
3. Wait for the integrator's legal team to inspect documentation for where work is required that requires new contract negotiations.
4. Draw up an extension to the contract with the integrator.
5. Pay an arm and a leg through the nose.
6. Proceed with the system installation.
