If installation conduit has been ordered up to the box, it should also be installed accordingly.

Don't want to be picky but why does it say in the construction description:

"All cables will be laid in conduits under plaster (except utility room, where they are surface-mounted)"

if that is not done?

If now a Sat cable or a network Cat cable doesn't work, do they have to tear everything up again? Just the thought of it ....

Only the construction company can answer that question.

According to the construction service description in the empty conduit. Thus, a defect that you should report and have repaired. For data cables, I would insist on this. For electrical, one could also forego it for monetary consolation.

Laying cables in empty conduits is in most cases pointless anyway: an empty conduit that is already "full" with the initial installation does not deserve its name because it does not fulfill its purpose. One might as well have taken a protective conduit right from the start. The latter, on the other hand, I indeed see bringing the most benefit on the ground. In the crime scene picture, I would be more tempted to pull the ears of the guy responsible for the freestyle cable routing. An "full empty conduit" only makes sense to me for data cables, since this also involves the aspect of replaceability due to expected increased requirements. Even Category 7 is still copper; in ten years many places will only smile about it and call it a data DDR highway. The best empty conduit, in my opinion, is one that justifies its name by running empty parallel next to a protective conduit that is already concretely planned to be "inhabited." Compared to today’s usual general contractor construction specification, however, that is wishful thinking. In this respect, I agree with my predecessor in the conclusion.

Ok, I will report it then and insist on a repair for the data cables. What would be an appropriate consolation prize for a house with a ground floor and an upper floor?
