I was in similar situation, at the time I was based in London working for company doing industrial control (so not software company but company using and selling software), maybe your case is different but if I was advicing to younger me I would advice to convince your departament to le me deliver this during work time or not to bother. I don't know if you have a clause in your contract that everything produced during work time or on work laptop automaticaly belongs to your employer, but even if you don't- weight if you'll get through politics to get your thing actually sold and not trialled or evaluated and then not actually rolled or simply ignored.. Anyways, good luck! Please post when all is over, I'm very curious if this was only my workplace with weird dynamics or maybe me not navigating :)
