It sounds like they've been stewing about the delay but have been too worried to tell you because they were concerned you'll scuttle the ship if they do... and now have unleashed hell.
What you need to do is ask them if they would like you to completely rush the final changes and give them a timeframe on that, and then give them a timeframe on a more complete job. Sucks, but looks like it's that or nothing.
I'm concerned about how you said you're really proud of it. When you put too much pride into, that causes you to be too perfectionist and ignore the client's needs. Yes, they have needs other than amazing design. They have budget, funcionality and more importantly, time needs. Design is just one of those. Clients with plenty time and budget exist, but are few and far between
Swallow your pride, realise it's just a job that if you're so proud of, you can always finish in your own time for you own purposes.
Sorry it's not what you wanna hear and I'm gonna get shot down by a load of people on here... but there's a reason they did what they did, even if it is done in the wrong way and a complete overrreaction... it is still a reaction.
