Don't resign, these are learning opportunities. It takes more courage to fix the problem than run away. Discuss the issue with your manager, get help if needed and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Meh, most “huge blowups” are actually just people covering their own asses for something they fucked up. I literally created one myself on Friday- I scheduled and rescheduled a client touchpoint to review a deliverable 5x through the week. When we finally met up, he spent 45 minutes talking about other topics, and then complained to my leadership about the quality of the deliverable after . My SM sent me an angry email on Friday night, but I’ll explain what’s up.
Frankly I don’t trust angry people in the workplace- most of them have simply discovered that anger is an easy way to avoid difficult conversations.
Oh my god, do not quit. You are fine. If a project hinges on an unreviewed analyst deliverable, that project has bigger problems. Didn’t mean that to sound douchey.
It makes me sad that OP is freaking out because he/she made a mistake. This job sucks the living life out of you and expect you to be 100% perfect for being 200% overworked. OP, don’t worry about this! Learn your mistake and move on. Many things are weird about the situation you are in - why is there a HUGE impact to the client all of a sudden? Why were there no regular touchpoints so the mistake could’ve been identified earlier? Why is your manager waiting until the last minute? Don’t take the fall for something that your manager did. Having said that, one thing that I would definitely do next time is to provide constant updates along the way so that these mistakes are identified early on and course corrected.
If you're an analyst, remember there's an entire chain above you that is also at fault. You'll need to up your game, but no way that it all rests on your shoulders.
Don't leave unless you're asked. And even then, just leave the project, not the company
Yeah I just didn't have all the details from others on my team. I ended up getting screwed because it was my deliverable. Didn't account for their details. So I end up getting screwed. Oh well will keep trucking through
He might be real nice but when he is being updated on a deliverable or being asked to provide feedback on a deliverable, he should be providing “value” and “direction”. That’s why it’s called a team effort. Why is he a manager if he just going to take your work as is and produce it to the client?
Yeah it's not just on you OP. I'm a manager that got burned on my last review for not catching what would otherwise be considered an analyst's "mistake." And I own that I should have been paying closer attention. As others have noted it's a team effort and "the buck stops here" goes higher than you for sure. It feels shitty now though, we get it.
If you are an analyst, they are still somewhat understanding and your team should know it’s part of the learning curve. As long as you aren’t destroying leaking sensitive data should be ok although don’t expect too much during performance year.
This isn't medieval Japan, no need to consider seppuku. Learn and move on
Failure is inevitable. Learn from it. Move beyond it!

Define huge impact to client. Sounds like a word document wasn’t completed.
Any lessons learned that you can provide from not making that mistake again ( without disclosing sensitive details - be general)
Mess-ups are inevitable. Don't be a coward. Work through it and let the impression be that you handled it professionally and didn't shy away from the responsibility/consequences
Try to get in front of deliverables next time. Level set with your lead and or client up front and at a min weekly to avoid misunderstandings or surprises.
Never quit, always let them fire you. If for nothing else, for the possible severance / unemployment benefits.
And if your manager is a decent human being he/she will let this go and give you a chance to learn. Otherwise the person is just a moron and covering his/her own ass and letting you take the blame for it.
