If an architect has been engaged via a RIBA Agreement and the client involved is in receipt of public money for funding, such as via the National Lottery, is the architect obligated to wait for funding to be paid before claiming fees?

No. An architect should insist on being paid on a regular basis. The schedule should be set out in writing and agreed to by both parties. The source of funding is irrelevant.
