I agree totally with @TheWanderingDevMana with what has to happen soonest and for any future projects.

However, I want to point out that in the meeting you should have spoken up and confronted the issue right then. By not speaking up, you agreed the code was production ready. You should have said, "I guess i was unclear, but this, this, and this still need to be done." It is critical to say it like this. You need to take responsiblity for the miscommunciation (even if you knew you communicated properly) so as to avoid embarassing your boss or confronting him with his incorrect interpretation.

What you need to know is that bad news doesn't usually improve over time. You have to have the courage to bring it up as soon as you know about it.

Right now the person who looks bad when this comes to light is you. Had you brought it up earlier, you are the one who saved two managers from embarrasment even if they aren't thrilled with the issue(s) themselves.

How much worse is it going to be if they say deploy on Monday and then you tell then there is a month's worth of work left? When something is misinterperted or is deliberately interpreted incorrectly, you have to address that at the time it happens or you become complicit and the blame will attach to you.

Now that you have lost that moment, you need to follow up immediately with an email to both bosses stating your concerns about moving to prod and exactly what is holding you up. And by immediately, I mean it needs to be the very next thing you do at work. You are late communicating, you can't afford to be any later.
