Correct if I am wrong but I see it as this:

1/ Audi design a car which gets approval by the ACO
2/ Peugeot complains about it including in Le Mans
3/ ACO ask Peugeot to back off so as not to spoil the big race
4/ Peugeot say OK as long as you change the rules for next year
5/ ACO agrees but takes forever to tell everyone how it will change the rules
6/ Audi then say it cant change its car in time so can it play with an interim car?
7/ ACO asks Peugeot if it will allow the interim car as Audi cant change its car that was legal until the rules were changed because Peugeot complained
8/ Peugeot say no
9/ ACO say Audi cant play at Sebring.

It seems to me that the ACO are at most fault for not having the balls to stand up to Peugeot and make its own rules and stick to them.
