Respeita o cronograma de contratação que eles indicou.
The verb "indicar" must agree with the plural subject "eles"; use "indicam" or the past "indicaram".
Respeita o cronograma de contratação que eles indicam.
Mixing present tense with a past instruction sounds odd; use the past "indicaram" to match the completed indication.
Respeita o cronograma de contratação que ele indicaram.
Subject‑verb agreement error: "ele" is singular, so the verb should be "indicou" or the subject should be "eles".

Cultural Tip
