submission
(OP)
Submission is to defer to something. Submittal is an actual item that's submitted. Why is this so hard to grasp? I just can't tell you how often I read, "This submission contains our field reports during construction." Really?

The word "submission" is a noun, a thing acted on.
The word "submit" is a verb, the action of yielding to the authority of another.
The word "submittal" is also a noun, a thing acted on.
So, you submit a submittal, the result being the submission of a document.

I didn't consult the dictionary in advance of my post - my bad as already shown. I feel equally about "utilize" and "issuance."
Sure, it might just be me. . .

In thirty years of engineering, the only place I've ever seen the fruits of peoples' labour described as a "submittal" is here.
In my corner of the UK Government, we make submissions (usually repeatedly) all the time.

As a side note, any government entity I've been involved with as a supplier, I was the one doing all the submission.

RE: submission
Now what does this have to do with having to contend with government bureaucracy? Well, if you end up having to deal with one of these former high-ranking Naval officers, many of them still think of themselves as standing in the wheel house of their ships giving orders assuming that there will be NO one who can object, or at least, be able to override them. Now some see this as a virtue, but it also tends to lead to people changing their minds, often on the slightest of whims, which can be devastating if you had assumed that the original agreed-to deal was what it was that you were eventually going to be expected to deliver. But if you're dealing with someone who thinks he can change that deal anytime he wishes and no one will there to object . . . well get the picture.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
