By choosing a number of developers to work on the task you instantly remove the pressure of one person having to deliver. This doesn’t mean throw your whole dev team at the problem, but simply share tasks based around spare time in the developers schedule. You should determine the development team for the project at the start of the project and it is important to note that if the project is running late, adding more developers to it is not the answer.

They breached the contract and now they get no code. Tough sh*t on them.
