Problems with implementing change

As a consultant, I am frequently asked to implement change in large organizations. However, the challenges in implementing change within my current client are huge. Political issues abound. There are way too many other projects that are impacted by our proposed changes, and upwards of 100 stakeholders. All the stakeholders want to know, before anyone else, about what we plan to propose and the impact to them. Tip toeing around all of these stakeholders and keeping them happy is pretty challenging. Also, add to the fact that these stakeholders are all 19 - 20 year veterans of this company, and most of them started work when I was born..
Add also to the mix the amount of push back and need for gaining feedback and soliciting their input.
With M&A accounting and Marketing Strategy, this was one project I didn't need on my plate..
