Dan...I'm trying to figure out how I would approach this. This may not work for you as different people can pull off different things.

1) Meet with the boss (not his flun...I mean protégé...whatever that is).
2) Ask him straight out

"Boss...for a year, I've been asking to get involved with the documentation effort and have been rebuffed. Now that my worst-case scenario has occurred, what kind of finished documentation am I expected to create in two weeks?"

Bring with you some copies of emails that you've issued in the past on this subject.

3) Hopefully, he'll reply with "What kind do YOU think you can produce?" At that point, it's all negotiation.
