>>a company can legally hold back revenue in one quarter

You can delay shipments or accelerate them based upon your calculations for the quarter. Very common practice, all legal and affect the revenues of the quarter and next. Many companies like to smooth the process if they can to make the numbers, but when order flows (bookings) get way out whack either way, it catches up to you
