Started a webpage that now contains a lot of analytic data. Now that I have the client GA Tracking ID I would like to move the data I already have to that account.
Is this possible?
I get the Google Analytics API, I can always fetch all the data I want, but my problem is, upon I have the data how can I send / push this data to other account
in other words, How can I transfer data?
The domain is the same, only the account Id in use was a different one (my own, instead of the client's)

To transfer your Google Analytics account to another Google Account, add a person with the "Edit" and "Manage Users" permissions to your Google Analytics account. You can then remove your Google Account from the Google Analytics account.
One method of getting data from all of your Google Analytics accounts into one report is to create a 'Roll-up' Account by adding the same UA tracking code to more than one site. This has the appeal of being able to see all data under one account in the Google Analytics web interface or in tools like Google Data Studio.
It is not possible:
You cannot currently transfer profiles or account data from one account to another account.
Google Analytics does not provide any flexibility with importing, exporting, or modifying any past data. Any data you have in one account cannot be moved to another.
With GA, the only way to get data in to an account is directly via __utm.gif requests, usually through their JavaScript snippet, but that doesn't allow for any way to import past data, since the date is fixed according to when the data is sent in.
Further, the Google Analytics API is read-only, and doesn't provide any way to import or move data.
(This answer is slightly less true for Universal Analytics

http://piwik.org/ is a good alternative, open source analytics system, not unlike Google Analytics, but without some of the constraints like this.
