In my past life as a pilot, I have been through returning aircraft back to a leasing company. And the paper trail is huge. And the above poster is correct .. they MUST be returned as they were delivered.. and as I said.. the paper work must confirm it all.
Aren't the engines usually leased separately from the airframe?
