Imagine a boss wants to know if his secretary has arranged a coordination with the partner company; e.g. for tomorrow morning. He may ask something like:

  • Have you coordinated the meeting time with them?

That sounds natural grammatically and idiomatically.

  • But my question is whether it is possible to substitute "time" in the above self-made sentence with the word "hour"? Would it make any sense then?
  • Is there a more idiomatic alternative?

    It needs to be past tense "coordinated", since you are asking about something that has (presumably) already been done.

It still makes sense grammatically, but isn't idiomatic. It's a little ambiguous because it could also be asking if the secretary has coordinated the itinerary of the (presumably hour-long) meeting.

If you're looking for a different/idiomatic way to ask that question, the boss might ask:

Have you scheduled the meeting with them?
