Have a clear team-wide tracker of tasks so you can show that you did your work but others did not do their work. "Work on the deck" isn't enough; detail that you'll handle the industry data on slides 7-10 and they'll handle the special info on slides 11-14. They still are in charge of the special knowledge stuff, but if they don't do it, they take the blame.

Escalate instantly. You can do it smoothly. Every day send a status…task x on track, task y pending input from person z, reached out 4 times today, might need support if no answer tomorrow.
When faced with situations where you’re held accountable for others not doing their part, especially when their specialized knowledge is essential, it’s important to document your own efforts clearly. Regularly communicate with your superiors about the potential risks involved and suggest any possible solutions. This way, you create a transparent record of your contributions and protect yourself from being unfairly held responsible for things beyond your control
