Best case? Tell them, "In my professional opinion you'd get better results with A+B+C, but I am happy to execute on your wishes." Document that you said it, and find a way for them to blame the lowest ranking client employee, and look like the highest ranking client employee wanted to go with your recommendation all along. Then when they discover they do indeed need C, they'll fire the lowbie, and you'll have a new sponsor at the client. I can't bring myself to do that, but when it happens naturally, it works beautifully.
