It also depends on the "culture" -- how the users request changes, how
IT Managers accept change requests, how architects and developers write
and test new / changed design and code.
Given the number of people involved in a change, what you describe
sometimes needs "top-down" directions and guidance.
It also requires a framework where work and extra work are recognised
and appreciated.

Yes, there is. Understand the purpose of bureaucracy (e.g. change
management) and embrace it. Plan ahead, submit your change requests in
time, use detailed standard operating procedures, have great
documentation, have great competency, improve communication skills,.
gain credibility by following the process and having a good track record
of successful changes, build strong personal relationships with other
parts of the organization including change mangers. That's the only way
and it is a better way.
And never ever yank a power cord on purpose.
