予定よていを変更へんこうしてでも、今週中こんしゅうちゅうにご報告ほうこくいたします。

yotei o henkou shite demo, konshuuchuu ni go houkoku itashimasu.

I will report to you within this week, even if it means changing my schedule. formal

The main clause must state a will or a desire (〜つもりだ, 〜たい, 〜てほしい) —
てでも cannot head a bare statement of fact.

てまで
Both name an extreme means, and the main clause decides which one you want — てでも declares the speaker will pay the price (借金しゃっきんしてでも買かう), while てまで judges the price too high and needs a negative or critical main clause, so 借金しゃっきんしてまで買かいたくない is idiomatic where ×借金しゃっきんしてまで買かいたい is not.

ても
The extra で turns a concession into an instrument — ても grants a condition and says it changes nothing (歩あるいても間まに合あう), while てでも offers the action as the extreme MEANS of reaching a goal (歩あるいてでも間まに合あわせる); a てでも clause always has a will or a desire behind it, which ても never requires.
