External vendor is late

The case

Your project depends on an API that an external vendor was to deliver by the 10th of the month. Today is the 15th, the API is not ready and the vendor gives vague answers. Your team has completed everything it could and is now blocked: three people are idle and the integration milestone slips. How do you manage the blocked external dependency and minimize impact?
