The obvious answer

Tell the mgmt the aeroplane needs a syncrophaser a la prop aircraft of the 50s.

I once rode a Falcon bizjet with mismatched engines (lo vs hi time) and to keep the fans synced, the throttles were staggered such that core speeds were 3-4% apart. On a twin it's not too hard to manage, but harnessing four donks can't be much fun.
