Well, not every runway is that long, remember you can carry 79t out of around 2000m of runway. Which can be demanding to land back on in case of malfunctions.

We do have boeing supplied checklists, on back cover page 1 is an immediate land checklist. Dunno if it is tailored for our operations though as boeing of course offers that service.

FORDEC is a standard CRM procedure, back when we were part of the Nigel world we used DODAR, pretty much the same thing.

Again, a simple engine failure is no reason to hurry, only if there is a very time pressing matter you need to rush, like a fire you can't extinguish. Undue haste can lead to very nasty surprises, better to take your time and be thorough.
