Video summary
Trudie Styler documented the making of The Emperor's New Groove - it underwent many changes and so did Sting's soundtrack efforts.
Sting was probably contacted in February 1997 - he worked on songs in April 1997 when the film crew did their Peru trip (April 2-13).
After an August 1998 (?) screening for Disney executives the whole concept of the movie dramatically changed - none of the six songs Sting had recorded until then made it into the movie (but a few can be heard on The Emperor's New Groove's soundtrack).
The whole production shut down for 6 months, so that the new story could be developed.
The movie had its official name by February 2000 - as reported on aintitcool.com.
The first test screening in front of an audience was right before March 28, 2000 - as reported on aintitcool.com.
