I am getting the same error and cannot complete the unit in this module. Very frustrating.
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
There was an unexpected error in your org which is preventing this assessment check from completing: System.ExternalObjectException: data.api.DataSourceException: This data is no longer available. The "Phone_Plan__x" table in the external data source is currently unavailable. Try again later or contact your administrator for help.

Team - I figured it out.  I had changed the external data source name to "Phone_Plan" as well and should have left it plural as that is what the external data source is named.  When I changed the source lookup to "Phone_Plan" instead of "Phone_Plans" the lookup was getting confused.  After I changed it back to "Phone_Plans" it worked!

Please provide a screenshot of the fields. Mine still is failing. Thank you. This is what happens when names & fields don't align and is never a good thing to do. So much for best practices ...

I had to remove the plural from both the phone & phone_plan objects,- but I left the external reference field name.(table name) I also have to re-edit the UUID,- and all is better. That was painful ...

How did achieve this:
1.Created External Data Source,and sync "Phones" and "Phone_plans" for the first plan.
2. Navigate to External Objects, and click Edit againt the External Obect, and change the Object Name from "Phones" to "Phone"

I had the same problem. My issue was that I was confusing the Object label with the Object Name. Even when the error message says that the problem is in the API name, it was actually in the Object name.

In this Challenge just change the Object Name not all the api label name only do for object name then api would be Phone__c likewise do to other phone_plan label also! you will finsih the challenge, it was simple.
