Persona 5 Royal: How to unlock the missable final Palace
TL;DR MISSABLE!
Level up the counselor confident to rank 9 before November 18th or you'll miss this and the "Awakening the Phantom Thieves" achievements which means replaying the entire game.
I messed up as I didn't know there were any missable achievements and don't have any saves that go back far enough.

Thank you FishSt1ck, good summary.
Note: This requires completing the Laboratory Palace, which can be missable if you do not follow the path to the true ending (refer to The Path Chosen (60G)).
*MISSABLE*
This new trophy involves completing Royal’s brand-new Laboratory Palace. it is on the path to the new Royal true ending, so while it is connected to the story, it can be missed if you do not meet the requirements of that ending. See The Path Chosen for those requirements. The deadline is described in-game as 2/3, which is the actual deadline unlike the other palaces due to the fact that the protagonist will send the calling card in a mandatory story scene if the treasure has been reached by that date.
The Palace is also unique in that there are several infiltrations with different, story-related objectives leading up to the main infiltration.
10/3: This is the first glimpse of the palace, taking place during the Spaceport Palace. Notably, if you send the Spaceport Palace's owner's calling card on 10/2, which causes you to enter his palace on 10/3, then this first glimpse of the new Palace will be deferred to 10/4. Either way, it cannot be missed.
1/3: This is the first main infiltration. After progressing through a number of rooms, you will encounter a boss and then must spend the next seven days speaking to your Phantom Thieves party members, one per day. It is the only way to spend free time on those days, and the thieves can be done in any order:
- Ann Takamaki. Locate Ann in the underground mall in Shibuya.
- Haru Okumura. Locate Haru near the Penguin Sniper in Kichijoji.
- Ryuji Sakamoto. Locate Ryuji outside the school in Aoyama-Itchome.
- Makoto Niijima. Locate Makoto in the underground rail station in Shibuya.
- Yusuke Kitagawa. Locate Yusuke in the art gallery in Ueno.
- Futaba Sakura. Locate Futaba outside the electronics store in Akihabara.
1/9: You will be forced to enter the Palace again after speaking to the above party members. You will continue until you meet another boss, and some story scenes later you will be instructed to enter Mementos and complete Royal’s new Path, the Path of Da’at.
1/10 onward: Enter Mementos and complete the Path of Da’at. It is 16 floors long.
1/11 onward (after finishing Path of Da’at): You can finally enter the palace for the main infiltration. There is now nothing stopping you from reaching the treasure from here.
The trophy will unlock in the scenes following the dungeon's deadline.
