Ouch, that's a really rough spot to be in. It's really harsh of your boss to tell you that they expected you to get this project done earlier when you are so new to the company, it doesn't feel like very valid feedback and I would try not to take it personally and just assume that they were having a bad day and unfortunately they took it out on you. Regardless, giving that type of criticism is not a good pattern for your boss. It's just not effective. The idea of proving your worth at a company is definitely something that has been repeatedly proven to me as being invaluable. I would try opening a dialogue with your immediate boss and having a bit of a check-in. I think that as this project comes to a close now is a good time to do that. I would let them know about how uncertain you felt with that bit of criticism, and maybe asking for concrete suggestions to address the problem with your upper level boss. Maybe some way that you can submit extra weekly reports detailing more of the work that you are doing on specific projects, including changes to requirements and how they affect your workflow. Sometimes bosses get so caught up in the big picture they don't recognize the ways that unexpected changes impact their teams.
