No.
Take out "But" and begin with "At."
"Either technicality or content" should be "either technically or content wise."
"Of" should be "with."
Generally the use of passive voice is unclear to the reader, so use the active voice by indicating who will sign the MoU.
Hope this helps.
I wish my questions were as easy to answer as this one.

No, it's not.
Never start a sentence with the word 'but'. There does not need to be a comma after 'August'. 'Technicality' should be 'technically'. You should probably also say '...there was a problem...with the MoU...' rather than 'of the MoU'.
The whole sentence wording does not really make sense either.
You could reword it as:
At the beginning of August there was a problem, either technically or content wise, with the MoU that was to be jointly signed.

No, sentences do not start with ' but ' ,
But is used to join 2 phrases that express some contradiction for example . . .
Rick was a good employee but we had to lay him off.
or
Judy is pretty but never gets asked on dates.
Also, the basic message needs a "with"" because the core of it is . . . there was a problem . . . then WITH
So you can say either,
problem with the technical specifications or the content of the MoU . . .
or problem, technically or content wise, with the MoU that would be . . .
{time reference} there was a problem { elaboration about problem} with the MoU that would be jointly signed.
'At the beginning of August, there was a problem with either the technical specifications or the content of the MoU, that would be jointly signed.
Also, as MoU is not an understood abbreviation, you would need to spell it out in an earlier paragraph with the abbreviation in parenthesis , but could then use it thereafter.

No, it is NOT grammatically correct. It should say 'But at the beginning of August there was a problem, either technically or in the content, with the MoU that would be jointly signed' There were two 'mistakes' ... the spelling of the word 'technically' (there is not such word as 'technicality') and you can have a problem with something, but not have a problem of something.

Not quite.
But at the beginning of August there was a problem with either a technicality or the content of the MoU that would be jointly signed.

Never start a sentence with "But", no comma is required after August, should be technically not "trchnicality" and the "of the" line doesn't make much sense, you use future tense that confuses things.
No it is not correct

"Upon viewing" is definitely the ultimate selection, and grammatically maximum appropriate to boot. undergo in strategies that the action picture call merits it incredibly is very own set of citation marks. possibly Italics may be appropriate to boot.

Just don't start with "But" and for the dude that said that your word "technicality" is wrong, no it's not wrong, and there is such a word like that, he's wrong.
Good luck.

Go.
There is a subject (understood "you")
And a verb (go)
I bet there are plenty of these and someone else could think of a different one.
