Does the content of JCT Minor Works Building Contract 2009 give an architect the legal right to issue an instruction to postpone the Works?

This is highly likely. It can be dependent upon specific contractual terms, but clause 3.4 of the JCT Minor Works Building Contract 2009 strongly implies that the architect is afforded this power.
