Teams engine can't recreate a pre-existing channel name. A pre-existing channel is a channel which has been firstly provisioned through the engine but than it was deleted by a user. Once a channel name has been created, even if it's deleted, it cannot be recreated. Microsoft’s system maintains this data for information protection scenarios.

Consider renaming the channel’s name in template in order to provision it with a sync
