Well in both your examples, you are putting slightly altered words in their mouth, as those are not direct quotes. Shouldn’t do that.
Edited to add, I think I misunderstood you slightly here, actually. I think we agree that they shouldn’t be altering quotes. Though I think theirs is slightly closer to the original quotes than the ones you used.
I think the “It meant we got the design right” snippet would work really well, but it is a bit long for the overall headline.

Paraphrasing happens all the time for titles to compress what someone has said. But often it’s done to confuse rather than inform.
If you want to stick with a true quote “we got the design right” fits. You could then alter the following title to further clarify:
