Thanks for showing you do not actually read what is said.
Let me type slower, maybe you will be able to follow.
The ACA was signed into law.
The LAW contained certain deadlines for actions.
It was determined some of the actions could not be done per the timeline the LAW set forth.
The executive branch overrode those timelines.
Who has the authority to modify/change laws?
Section 3: Presidential responsibilities
he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

Once the law is passed, congress tends to give the executive branch some leeway in implementing what was once just paper into what is now reality because they can't predict all the rough patches in transition from that paper to reality.
The White House keeps changing Obamacare. Is that legal?
In 1946, legislators passed the Administrative Procedures Act, which governs the way that regulatory agencies carry out legislation. That law both gives agencies discretion in setting up laws, but holds them accountable for carrying out Congress’s intentions.
