Hi and thanks for your post. An attorney cannot reasonably answer your question without looking at the contract itself. Different contracts will contain different remedies and specify different terms of performance. In some cases you might be able to walk away if the other party delays (or doesn't do what they promised to do in a timely fashion), but not always. You may want to retain an attorney to look over the contract at issue and advise on your possible remedies.
