I know that as an idiom this means that you completed a task in a rush, without putting much effort into it. However, in a courtroom drama I watched the defendant says "you phoned it in" to his lawyer to congratulate him after he has delivered a brilliant closing argument(his client is acquitted). Could it maybe have been used to suggest that the lawyer is so good that even though he improvised it was a walkover?
