FIDIC has a "warning" mechanism to avoid termination if the Contractor comply with the condition and terms. Letters exchanged between Engineer and Contract are part of this warning mechanism  I'm not aware of the details of your scenario, but it is not only the FIDIC contract type which sustain a timely reply to Engineer letter, but also the rules of the prevailing local law. According to the FIDIC type of contract there are more than types of letter issued by the Engineer. Regarding each type of letter, Contractor shall reply with an agreement or disagreement letter to the Engineer. Please take notice that Employer is entitle to issue a notice of termination in case of a breach of Contract. Not giving a timely reply to Engineer letter can be consider as negligence or culpable delay of works, under the rules of local law.
