So the sentence in question is:
先月私達が係わっていたXYZプロジェクトについて今日社長から質問を受け、その答えを用意していなかったので正に不意をつかれた形になってしまった。
1. What is the precise effect について has on this sentence. I am guessing this implies that the boss is asking a question about the project.
2. I can't quite figure out what 形になってしまった。means. My best guess is to become tense?
So I am thinking:
'I was flustered and caught off guard because I was unprepared for the question my boss asked me (or, 'unprepared to answer the question I received from my boss') about the XYZ project we were concerned with from last month.'
