Your engineer did you a real favor. Building a new load path onto compromised framing is how projects go badly wrong later, and catching it now costs a fraction of catching it after framing goes up. In terms of timeline, most of these repairs are measured in days once the scope is known, and the hold-up is usually scheduling rather than the work itself. Seattle Wood Frame Repair is a service GotRot handles directly, including load-bearing elements, and they can coordinate a written scope your engineer can sign off on. Ask them to document what they find with photos, your architect will want that for the permit set.
