No. The engagement will be governed by a contract, and those contracts will often require they staff a certain number of people for the engagement - especially if it's a "butts in seats" kind of engagement, which this looks like it is.
There will be provisions for backfills if/when people quit and the like, but otherwise they would have to have agreement from FB to alter the contract to have nobody billing for some period of time.
Whomever is managing the engagement from Accenture is shitting the bed and communicating poorly, for sure, though.

Yes. Multiple years in big 4 consulting much spent writing statements of work - Accenture is not powerless and can definitely make the call here for a few weeks. Takes an engagement director with backbone and managing partner + maybe executive buy in but it's definitely very doable for a many billon dollar company. > Whomever is managing the engagement from Accenture is shitting the bed and communicating poorly, for sure, though. Agreed.
