Well, this has been a recurring occurrence in every Company I have worked with: a Client deciding to add something to the scope of work when the equipment is ready for shipment, a fabrication problem at a workshop, a sudden shutdown in a Plant due to leaking equipment. I am used to this kind of situation and somehow even like them as they add some further taste.

This is a good start! It sounds like you have a lot of experience adjusting your priorities on short notice. To strengthen your answer, I suggest expanding on one of the examples you listed from your career, in order to present the interviewer with the full story. To provide the right amount of information and detail, consider using the STAR (situation, task, action, and result) formula.
