I'm sure the vast majority of the criticism of the project should have just been directed to the manager. Taking too long on a single part can definitely be directed towards a junior dev but there should be some guidance attached to that (check in more often, etc). Anything that doesn't fall under the specific tasks given to the engineers is entirely the manager's job.
