Variant notes

ていただきたい — humble いただく on the same tail — 一度いちど見みていただきたい. The everyday face of business requests.
ていただきたく — the tail left open to run into 存ぞんじます／お願ねがい申もうし上あげます — written business Japanese, almost never spoken.
てもらいたいんですが — hedged and trailing off, which is how the wish is actually opened in conversation — ちょっと手伝てつだってもらいたいんですが。
ないでいただきたい — humble いただく on the negative wish — 展示品てんじひんにはお手てを触ふれないでいただきたく存ぞんじます; notices and staff speaking to customers.

Notes

The person whose action is wanted takes に. てもらいたい tells the listener
what you want rather than asking, so aimed upward in speech it is replaced by
the question ていただけませんか.

Related patterns

Similar

てほしい
てほしい is the spoken default and rides an adjective, so it stops where politeness starts; てもらいたい rides a verb, which is what lets it climb into ていただきたい and ていただきたく存ぞんじます — ほしい has no humble form at all, so business writing takes this line.
てもらう
てもらった reports the favor as actually received and dates a finished event (昨日きのう直なおしてもらった); てもらいたい reports nothing, so a time word on it can only be a deadline (明日あすまでに直なおしてもらいたい) — the たい is the whole difference between a report and a request.
ていただけませんか
ていただきたい announces what the speaker wants and leaves the listener nothing to answer; ていただけませんか hands them a question they may decline, which is why spoken requests upward take the question and email takes ていただきたく.

Lookalikes

たい
Both end in たい, and only the て marks who acts — 聞ききたい puts the speaker at the listening, 聞きいてもらいたい puts the other person there; the ます-stem form can never voice a wish about someone else's action.
