Does the too small window even fit the look? Often it is adapted to the overall appearance.

Yes, why not as suggested in #3?
Windows are planned and coordinated according to their dimensions - so what does it look like now???

When building a house, 2 weeks is nothing! If the following trades absolutely want a sealed construction, then you cover it with OSB for that long. What your window installer suggests is a lazy compromise.

Yes, I am meeting with the architect on site shortly. I will present this suggestion to him then.



Yes, there are two windows exactly one above the other (basement and ground floor), he wisely measured the larger one (so correctly) and adapted the smaller one to it. The architect should have noticed that, and the masons are working here almost to the millimeter.

Yes, that's just how it is with craftsmanship. Things like that happen. He has already presented you with a solution involving reordering...

Reorder, install, done.

If it needs to be watertight for 2 weeks: get 2 formwork boards, nail them from the outside onto the masonry, put plastic sheeting over it, done.
