Leveling Compound Failed

I've seen this before and it might be that the plonker has mixed part A of a powder and liquid levelling compound with water instead of using liquid?
 
It looks to me like the insulation boards haven`t been primed. A weak mix of SLC won`t help either. I wouldn`t get involved unless they are willing to have the ufh taken up, floor primed, cable replaced and re screeded.
 
Looking at the discolouration on top of the screed, it looks as though waters been added, but I suspect not enough. I reckon the builders treated the SLC as a cement screed, and only added a minimal amount of water. As previous comments have suggested, carefully lift the electric mat, dust it off, relay, and then rescreed
 
Just keep brushing it over with a stiff brush till its clean buy the look of it it wouldn't take long I bet a good vacuum would suck it up lol
