They warn that the progress is not yet irreversible and could be jeopardize by too precipitate a withdrawal.

Is the sentence correct? Is there any alternative of the bold part?

2

It’s correct except that “jeopardize” should be “jeopardized”.

too precipitate a withdrawal = a withdrawal that is too hasty/sudden

3

Thanks, I understand it now.

Another question:
The need to come with a new economic plan for Greece is mounting/ascending/riding/intensifying/scaling.

Which are correct at the bold part?

4

“mounting” and “intensifying” would both work there.

Are you sure it doesn’t say “need to come up with”?

5

I copied it from my book where “up” is absent. Is it wrong without “up”?

6

Is there any further context, or is it an isolated example sentence?

7

yes

8

“come with a new economic plan” = arrive at some place (e.g. a meeting) with a new plan
“come up with a new economic plan” = devise a new plan

“come with” is not impossible, but in that sentence, and with no further context, my guess is that “come up with” was meant.
