We are by no means in a difficult life situation. But why is it not allowed to have different preferences, ideas, etc. without being stuck, acting unplanned, and so on?

It's not about you having different preferences, but about you thinking that no one else can implement them better than yourselves.

I am also just an amateur, I didn't even dare to post my floor plans here (I should have done it better) but I have read a lot here and you wouldn't believe how many architects and builders have already sold their clients the biggest nonsense as the golden calf... and here it comes out. Unfortunately, humans are a credulous species. Here I have learned that it can always be done better... as long as one does not close oneself off to it.

It should actually be sufficient, especially after Anolca's explanations, that you don't want to completely adjust the floor plans.

Besides, there are also many topics here that, for example, I also strongly support.... living separate from cooking/eating, cooking/eating on the terrace, etc.

... I would be interested in your specific kitchen planning... as I currently suspect, one might possibly divide the window front a bit more practically. But I could be wrong.

I would also rather have the guest bathroom accessible from the hallway... maybe a slightly different place for cat food etc. could be found for the cats. However, without major changes, a wardrobe would then really not be possible at all. Will the cat access to the bathroom then be realized with a cat flap? Because an open bathroom door is also not a good idea?

Are the cats going to be "outdoor cats"? Then one option would be to use the access door from the carport, equipped with a cat flap, for a litter box and integrate cat food into the kitchen. However, you would then also need a cat flap so that the cats can roam freely in and out.

There will be a cat flap to the shower bathroom. The tomcats are outdoor cats but there is no longer a cat flap to the outside. We had that for 8 years and discontinued it 2 years ago. Nightly mouse hunts with the whole family or rotting carcasses well hidden in the tool shelf, closely followed by a mouse that lived inside the cat pillow, made us rethink that.

Our kitchen plan is attached. The kitchen planner "cut off" the dining area on the floor plan. That's why it looks so different. To the right of the French door there will be a corner bench.

Make sure that the faucet does not collide with the opening window. On the graphic, it looks like that.

Yes... the right sash will be fixed. The changes to the workshop planning have not yet been incorporated.

Cold rooms like in houses before the energy saving ordinance times no longer exist. You no longer have the cold stairwell for the penguins to move into.

No, luckily we know what life with an autistic person is like.

Oh yes, the mice and other things in the apartment. Never with a cat flap

Who says that a hallway was ever the only alternative?

Well, you:

Reason 1: we do not want a hallway between frequently used rooms. Hallways without windows especially scare our daughter.
Reason 2: we want the possibility to heat as little area as possible without constantly having to go through cold areas.

By "cold area" a hallway is probably meant, I assume. By the way: you might want to educate yourselves again about the sense of not heating rooms in a new building under the Energy Saving Ordinance with (I assume) underfloor heating, to save energy.

If your daughter is afraid of dark rooms, going downstairs on the way to the children's room could be quite problematic, right? That’s apparently not a problem? I guess, "there is no other way there anyway."

The guest bathroom door also has a cat flap? Awesome. Not only do you hear every little noise in the living room, now the cat can come in uninvited while I’m on the throne and escape past me. Cool.

Well, there’s no point in shaking the cornerstones here. It’s too late for that. It’s not a disaster anyway. As long as you’re happy, we are too.
