Specifically, it appears that there was no plan or strategic design around what to do with excess doses during the initial rollout leading to many doses being thrown away/discarded. So much so that a group of private citizens literally created a waiting list for allowing people to get "last minute" opportunities to prevent this from happening. HiDrB
I'd call that a pretty big miss.
I want to make sure I understand you... Warp Speed delivered too many doses?

Functionally, it seems that the strategy was delegated to the individual states
The only strategy of substance that was delegated to states was the decision on who was first in line. Pretty much all of them did the same thing- elderly and healthcare workers and first responders/cops etc first, then teachers, then everyone.

wide discrepancy in vaccine delivery between different states (even per capita modified for age/qualified access) would lend support that idea.
Please share. There could be other factors involved here. The leading distributor (not manufacturer, but distributor) had five new warehouses set up as staging areas around the country, in addition to some existing warehouse space that was utilized- that's one possible skew point. Example- all of Alabama and SC's doses are in a warehouse in Atlanta, for example. All of Arkansas and Mizzou's doses are sitting in Memphis, for example. I would like to see this data you refer to.

I do recall the chatter about the ventilators etc early on, after Trump got with 3M and some others to fast track a few million, some states were cutting side deals with the manufacturers to try and hoard them, that got dealt with pretty quickly if I recall correctly. I recall nothing of the sort happening with Warp Speed.
