I would suggest that in such a multi-billion dollar project all lifecycle phases are thought trough beforehand.
It is hard to believe that the maximum size of an engine and its shipping equipment is not part of the specification.
Beeing a mechanical engineer myself this is just embarrassing.

Re: JSF engine too big for regular transport at sea
Not the first time the Navy has bought something that doesn't fit inside a COD.
Even in the surface Navy when we need to have a LM2500 engine (same engine as a C-5) changed out it has to be shipped to a port via a large transport (like a C-130 or bigger).
