Take a couple of deep breaths, what might appear impossible sometimes becomes relatively straightforward.
Firstly you have to understand the requirements, which has nothing to do with the "third party thing". So you should be spending the first phase just understanding and analysing these requirements. Secondly ask yourself is this "Third party thing" something which a huge number of contractors know about? There are lots of third party products which no-one knows about. In the past I've been sent to customers with a "weeks training" in some product, knowledge which I could have fathomed out by running through the getting started manual. I would therefore spend a few days to go through the "Getting Started Manual" . There's no harm in popping your head round the door and mentioning that you are analysing their requirements and that your next step would be to familiarise with the "third party thing" because you haven't worked with it before. Once you've done that just come up with a concept document, i.e. how is this third party thing going to fulfill the requirements. Third party products usually come with worked examples which you use to implement your solution.
If an Electrician spent an afternoon on the Internet, he would probably fairly quickly gain the knowledge on how to clear drains.
If you go step by step sometimes things become clearer. Focus on a requirements doc and technical concept doc.
Other than that throw in the towel. Good luck
