The below article is an EXCELLENT example:

(http://www.nrgglobal.com/general/on-power)
Five people working full-time on the project, ten more giving it a few hours a week, and I was the only one who could do the work.
If I felt like building the software, it would get built on time. If I suddenly got an appendicitis and missed a week, the project would be a week late. All the blustering, bossing, yelling, and cajoling in the world could not change that simple fact.
Second, offer to do what you can with the resources you have. That is, you don't need to let others dictate anything.
