Is there a reason why this does not get approved?

Yes, there are a few reasons why these requests have not been approved:

1. The inventory you've recently submitted for the part you want
to add includes exactly the same parts which you want to delete from the inventory.
Therefore, adding the complete assembly will not be any more correct than including
the individual parts (unless the parts came assembled in new sets).

2. I don't know if these parts came assembled in new sets or not
and you've not addressed the issue. If the parts came assembled, then it
would be correct to add the complete assemblies for both the red and blue connectors
with wires.

3. Approving these changes would eliminate the match to the different
type of connector which also came in this set. This is not desirable. The entirety
of the connectors and wires in this set, both regular and alternate parts, should
be changed at the same time if they need to be changed.

4. The wires in this set should be measured. As far as I'm concerned,
this is an undetermined entry which will one day be deleted from the catalog:

x466 Electric, Wire 12V / 4.5V with two Leads, unspecified length

Parts: Electric, Wire & Connector

The wires do come assembled in sets 118 and 138. I will do whats needed to change
both blue and red connectors at at the same time.

Should i add a wire with the right determined length to the catalog than?

No, the catalog administrators do that. How did the wire come in sets? Was
it cut to a specified length?

It comes in the sets assembled exactly like you see it in the image of 996ac15red.

I think there is even a sealed set 118 listed on bricklink with a good picture
