That is mis-measured. No way caulk fixes that. I would have them replace any windows that look like that.

We are getting our house done shortly and went with a super reputable installer so praying this isn’t going to be an issue.

yes that is what I was thinking although it’s possible I guess that the head/jamb/sill returns aren’t square. Drywall returns are notoriously out of square

The windows are not completed yet. They stayed until almost 9pm last night. When they came in this morning, instead of working on the downstairs windows like I was expecting, they immediately returned to the upstairs windows.

So I'm thinking they just quickly and temporarily set the windows in place until resuming it this morning.

I spoke with the installer this morning who did say they would be seating those windows better. But it still makes me nervous to see those gaps.
