Mix up a media twice as lean, 1S/5T. Use that to oil her out. The faded colors should instantly come right out.
Wait at least a year before applying final varnish. I've been led to believe that another layer of paint ought not be put over the final varnish.

Wait a year for a final varnish ..... Do you work this out with your client to get the painting back for final varnish? What is your process here if you dont mind me asking?
