Lambda function gets stuck in the Pending state upon creation

[haim-bp]

Describe the Bug
Lambda function gets stuck in the Pending state upon creation. Once in this state, the function cannot be updated or deleted via the ACK controller.
The only workaround is to manually remove the finalizers.lambda.services.k8s.aws/Function entry and then delete the resource manually.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Lambda Function resource using the ACK controller.

2. The resource enters the following status:

   conditions:
     - message: function in 'Pending' state, cannot be modified or deleted
       status: "True"
       type: ACK.Recoverable
     - lastTransitionTime: "2025-04-20T12:53:34Z"
       message: Unable to determine if desired resource state matches latest observed
         state
       reason: function in 'Pending' state, cannot be modified or deleted
       status: Unknown
       type: ACK.ResourceSynced

3. Attempts to update or delete the function using the ACK controller result in no action due to the function being stuck in a Pending state.

4. To resolve, you must:

   • Remove the finalizers.lambda.services.k8s.aws/Function finalizer from the resource.
   • Manually delete the Kubernetes resource.

Expected Outcome
The Lambda function should either:

• Successfully transition from Pending to Active, or
• Fail with a clear error and allow cleanup or retry via normal ACK resource management (without requiring manual intervention).

Environment

• Kubernetes Version: [Please specify]
• EKS: Yes, version 1.31
• Targeted AWS Service: Lambda
