Since the beginning of her career, Britney was far from a "yes man" girl..
Jive wanted to make "...Baby One More Time" a cartoon video, and Britney said No. Jive wanted to target her at the young children, Britney said teens, and pretty much she defined the late 90's/early 00's when it came to music. I do believe everything else until the Britney era was controlled, except the music videos, which mostly had her say, When they started recording Britney, Britney did not want to work with the same producers she did her first two albums and so she had different producers.
The In The Zone era, was the era JIVE probably trusted Britney the most, she had her thing all the time, the album had her writing/co-writing more than half of it's songs and she took part in the producing period way more than she did previously (her 3 first albums), and then she had her wishes for singles, tour concept, performances, etc. and even in the GH:MP era when she released singles JIVE wouldn't even push.
Blackout era was another one she had control, but this one she was mentally unhealthy, she did everything for the album, although she delivered a great album, it underperformed so JIVE decided they lead the pack for the upcoming stuff...
So on Circus, she was more like she was her first album, she did what her label wanted and she was happy with it (the only thing I remember being said that came off from her this era was the Womanizer video concept...), then the tour, she had a little say by it's mid, when she decided to include a new song, remove another one and she was changing her outfits every other shows (although minor changes)...
but then, when JIVE wanted to release "3" only and the commemorative box in limited edition, Britney decided she would launch The Singles Collection as an album too, and they did it...
