Nice question, Jonathan! My gut tells me that development may have already made up their mind on what they want to develop so the research efforts may be all for nothing. I hope that's really not the case.
However, you can still get feedback on something they've designed but it might not be valuable enough without doing more involved testing (6 to 10 users per user population..etc.) I usually separate actual testing from interviews just so not to confuse some users. I would also make sure to highlight all the data you found in the interviews themselves and put less light on the actual prototype. What you could also do is compare the prototype yourself with the interview data you found and do an analysis that way, and make your own recommendations. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
