Narrative:
I was instructed not to remove insulation on aircraft ducts that weren't accessible and it would be done on later checks. Also engineering change order paperwork would be revised. When neither was accomplished we were in violation of said engineering change order paperwork. Work not accomplished and signed for being accomplished.
