Troubleshooting Missing iPhone Contacts:

Enable Contacts in iCloud:

Is Contacts enabled in iCloud on your iPhone's settings? If not, then enable it, seeing if they all come back. If so, then disabled it, and then enable it, seeing if they all come back. 

On the iPhone:

1. Go to: Settings
2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
3. Tap: iCloud
4. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green in-color)

B. Also, Try the Following:

• Restore Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and More Using iCloud.com - Apple Support
• If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t Sync - Apple Support
• Archive the Contacts you Store in iCloud - Apple Support

"Not all contact fields are syncing between my Macbook and iPhone.: It looks like it is fields with custom names are not appearing. This is not true for all contacts -- just some -- others still mirror the custom fields/names I have created on my MacBook.”

Getting Contacts to Sync:

Seems the Download Got Interrupted:

• Disable Contacts in iCloud Settings and then reenable it.
• If that does not work, then log out of iCloud on the device and then log back in, being sure to enable Contacts when you log in.
• I would also reset the router by powering it off for 30 seconds and then powering back on.
• You might want to consider performing this on a different network.

Try the "+" Button:

If you click on the "+" button at the bottom of the new Contact field you can add fields. See if the fields pop up as they should.
