I work for a medium engineering firm. We recently dove into drone mapping/modeling. The software and flying side is coming along great. However we are hitting a snag. When it comes to airspace. Something i dont fully comprehend. When we are trying to get permission we ussualy call the tower and get permission; but lately the towers have been asking for our certificate of authority, or waiver. We have been filling them out on the faa website but it says 90days IN ADVANCE. This is not a possibility. Almost every job is "in the next week or two". Is there somthing im missing. Right now its the tried and true"better to ask for forgivness than permission" method. But im not real comfortable with that. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are going to have to ask the client if they are ready to take the hit when you get caught.
Next ask yourself about how ethical it is to break laws to satisfy clients who want to avoid red tape.

If you are flying under Part 107 then you have to go the route you are going and give them 90 days to process your request for a waiver. The FAA is currently working on and slowly rolling out new UAS facility maps that will speed up this process.
