It's a self-referential FK on a single (but partitioned) table. The ALTER
TABLE command fails, but I queried it, and the record that it fails on
exists. I modified the original INITIALLY IMMEDIATE clause to INITIALLY
DEFERRED but that did not help.
What am I doing wrong?

The error:
DETAIL: Key (amended_response_id, part_date)=(103309154, 2021-01-06
00:00:00) is not present in table "employer_response"
is pointing at 103309154 for amended_response_id = employer_response_id.
You are showing an employer_response_id of 103309156
But my query's WHERE clause specifies "amended_response_id = 103309154;"
(I've highlighted it, if you have a GUI MUA.)
sides=> select employer_response_id, part_date
from strans.employer_response_p2021_01
where *amended_response_id = 103309154; *
