Can you disconnect/move it out of the way temporarily? Maybe string it along the ceiling long enough to do the work , then put it back in place?

Get all of your utilities done first (plumbing, electrical, data, etc) before you spend the $$ on spray foam. No point in doing the insulation and then having to hack the crap out of it later.

Yeah, do the electrical work first, along with everything else, then insulate.

This doesn't sound like a good idea. Are you sure this is a recommended usage from the manufacturer?
Any free advice given is worth double price paid.

Might have a work around might not. Can you run stubs of conduit into the spaces you need so all you need to do is connect to the stubs when you have the time to get to the electrical? I have a switch that operates the plug in front of the front window that is for christmas tree lights and a stub out of that box that goes below the house so when I wire for exterior lights they will also be controlled by the same switch. The walls are all foamed the stub is in place and easy to attach to I can pull wire into any of the boxes on the room from there if I had the need

Why don't you want to bury the armored cable in the foam? Are you worried about it failing? If you are, and it were accessible and it failed would you replace it or try and splice it?
