What is Orianna's most reliable build when she mainly has to make the position of her ball respected?

The most reliable build on Orianna is the one that preserves the first spike while still keeping an escape valve. If your item order prevents you from playing the champion's first real window, the build may look strong on paper but it is not reliable.

When should you truly adapt Orianna's build instead of simply pushing the standard control mage route?

You should adapt as soon as the enemy draft stops you from playing the timing the build was meant to serve. If you need to survive longer, absorb more poke, or answer a specific engage pattern, the purchase order must move before you even think about the final six-slot build.

Which enchant should Orianna choose when the real issue is mainly holding the zone through the second rotation?

stasis is often the most stable choice because it directly supports this game plan: create constant zone pressure and punish grouped enemies.
