Le temps qu'il fasse demi-tour, il était trop tard.

Why don't you use the article "un" with demi-tour?  I was marked wrong for that.

This question relates to:French lesson "Le temps que + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = By the time that in French"

It seems that "faire demi-tour" can be a "locution verbale" (or expression) functioning like a verb.
