I am not sure that I am seeing a valid argument to have ad hoc queries in CF.
Even for small queries, the execution time will typically always be faster executed from a databse like MS SQl, Oracle ..etc than from the CF server. As for contractors waiting for the copy of the stored procedure, the DBA should has assigned the roles to the contractors to have read access to the database so they can view the SPs. Plus, you can each cotnractor copy the databse locally and test locally before asking for the DBA to commit a solution. For the deployment of the stored procedures, ths can be achieved pretty easily with generated scripts. It is not uncommon to just copy the sql necessary to update, backup and deploy all of your stored procedures very quickly.
