I'm in a similar position! Management change their minds every hour almost! Projects are patched together in the messiest way due to managements idea of keeping clients happy....
The developers quote 4 weeks to do a job, management divide it by two and then take off an extra couple of days to make the clients happy. The result? Tired, stressed coders and sloppy code!
To make matters worse... Development team = 2 Management team = 3!!!
That is the result of management knowing nothing about the development cycle and in reality being nothing more than overpaid salesmen with a dictionary full of acronyms!
