What matters is marketability and proper title, whcih need be carefully examined. Original is not absolutely imperative or mandatory.

However, it is unclear from facts stated by you as to what was the development agreement and why was original sale deed given to developer at the time of entering into the development agreement.  These aspects will be required to be gone into along side whether development agreement is validly terminated.
