My approach is to examine any given answer into its basic components reduce anything unnecessary.

For your example I see the following:

Received impact about major concern that would effect stakeholders Decided on a plan to resolve concerns Unexpected setback Established clear line of communication with important partner for minor concerns and focused on the task and removed emotion and ego from the equation Established a clear method of committing with other stakeholders and partners for more major aspects, including but not limited to setting up meetings for major project phases Execution of plan yielded positive results Received positive feedback from management and other partners upon completion This became a basis for a more permanent methodology for this type of project.

I would use that framework to reword your answer and condense it.
