OK so info is needed here (as Sly mentioned):
Was this a paid job (Person A hired Person B)?
Was this a "partnership" (Person A and Person B are equals and split profits 50/50)?
If paid Person B is at fault for not doing what the Client (Person A) requested.
If a Partnership then y'all got issues.
My first thought was: why is Person A having anything to say about a CMS? If Person A has the models and content then that's their half of the partnership. It's then person B's job to make the website work and if he's more comfortable with an out of the box solution then it's his call. If Person A doesn't like it for some reason....go get another partner.
That's how I see it.
So in the end whose 'fault' is it? Ultimately Person B for launching a site that doesn't work (tho he was probably just trying to please his partner). But Person A should STFU and let Person B do his job and make them both money.
Now technically, to answer your questions, can it all be launched without thumbs, test galleries, etc? Of course.
