You just need to grow a spine and express your concerns.

Alternatively, if growing a spine is not an option, you forego any entitlement to point fingers the moment you avoid your responsibility of voicing concerns in a timely manner.

The spineless, sociopath route of not voicing any concerns and proceeding to throw everyone around you under the bus by feigning you knew better is something that's the worst of all options.

No. In a teams and companies where it is safe to disagree, people disagree openly. If they are not, it is because management or you are punishing dissent. If that is the case, the solution is to stop punishing that dissent.

Second, you can not use theoretical option of formal review as a way to avoid responsibility. Just because you sent your 150 long pages pdf to people to read and they actually read it in allocated 2 hours they could afford for it and did not seen issues does not mean you dont have responsibility.

This is case of you wanting reward if it goes well, but also wanting to hide behind review if it goes bad.
