This means he, as well as all of his projects, will be sent off dishonorably. This might include Penny, and so since she and her father will have no where to go, Weiss might take them in in secret. Obviously, he failed in what he was there to do and he also made Atlas look bad, but it depends on how Atlas wants to approach it. We also had several months intervening and the state of the CCT is not clear. I would think they would be doing everything they could to restore it, since communications would be cut for all the other Kingdoms as we know from World of Remnant.

IMO, the state of the CCT is actually pretty clear. Based on what Qrow and Taiyang told Ruby, it's probably still down b/c the Dragon, despite being 'frozen', is attracting large numbers of Grimm to Beacon; Beacon -now basically Grimm Ground Zero- is where the CCT is located, and thus the sheer amount of Grimm in the area will be a significant problem for any and all repair expeditions. I'm not saying they're not doing all they can -they almost certainly are- but what I am saying is that the sheer amount of Grimm they'd need to fight through and then protect the repair crews from is a significant roadblock.
