squeezed in

Made room somehow

Squeezed in means fitted into a tight space or schedule with difficulty.

Physically, it describes inserting something where there's barely room: We squeezed in one more passenger.

More often it refers to time—making room for something despite a packed agenda: The doctor squeezed me in between appointments.

The phrase suggests accommodation requiring effort or compromise.
