The overarching concept of Progressive Elaboration comes to mind. In my view, this is the alignment sequence:
Strategic Business Objectives
decompose to
Programs, Projects, operational activities
decompose to
Project/Program objectives
decompose to
Deliverables
(I skipped some detail, but hope this provides the idea)
As long as you make sure that each level of decomposition is NECESSARY and SUFFICIENT – and this is the key technique in my view – I believe alignment would be achieved… Your deliverables would help you achieve your Strategic Business Objectives Saving Changes...

Strategic Objectives will be achieved thanks to the product/service/result you will create with the project, not with the project. On the other side, depending on your organization, you have to consider the project governance process too. So, returning to your point, if you align your project deliverables to you have defined when plan the project its good because all related to your project will be defined from product scope. And the product is the solution to achieve your strategic objectives. Saving Changes...
