If it's blowing straight away I doubt it's got anything to do with mix ratios.

I would forget about sand and cement.
remove the original scratch coat and replace with a coat of rend aid, full mesh lay down the rend aid and scratch.
as it is a huge huge house it will have a huge budget .

As long as the scratch is clean it shouldn't matter how long it's been left. I've left them six months in the past.

Don't know what it can be. To much of the concentrated waterproof in scratch?

What was the scratch like?
Well cured? Easily scratched weak, dusty surface? Were the drag lines done properly?

Did you put waterproofer in the top coat? Was the scratch really wet as you were topping it?

The scratch seemed OK. I'm just think it could 5 1 and I've finished on 5 1 half

Never put waterproofer in top mix Feb or lime. Wall was damp not wet

I'm assuming that you made sure that your top coat is thinner than their scratch, in which case it wouldn't really matter that they were the same gauge. As I said earlier, I wouldn't expect any mix, no matter how wrong to shell off so quickly.

Top coat is always a butter coat nice light ther scratch coat could of being a light skim over blocks. As far as I know! If mine was a bit thicker would that made a difrent?

If they were both 5:1, but your top coat was thicker it is therefore stronger.
Did you put waterproofer in the top coat?
