What verb should I use in the sentence:
"The government ___ to demolish the building"? The meaning is that they decide and make an official order to do this.

Question

Answer

If you can't change any of the words in the original sentence, then I think the answer is "has".  The Government *has* to demolish the building.   Do you have any choices or clues?

Answer

“Decided” or “had” work just fine.

• The government decided to demolish the building.
• The government had to demolish the building.

Answer

Another option: 
The government Mandated to..,

Answer

Curious question. Maybe one word could be decreed. Or sanctioned. Or gazetted. 
But the phrasing would change to ‘the government decreed/sanctioned/gazetted the demolition of the building.
