There is no way in hell I would let this go any further in the process. If you want the opening moved or enlarged, NOW is the time to do it. Nothing is going to cave in or collapse. Matter of fact, there is zero load on the plate right now. How much weight do you think that 2x4 wall and two headers were designed for?? Not any more than a simple beam could support. It's basically just a little larger header, and you can bet there is no special foundation support other than a continuous beam under that wall.
If I lived closer, I'd come change it after he left in the afternoon, and you could tell him you didn't know what happened.
The more I look at that pic and think about your simple request, the more ridiculous your builder seems.

A corporation puts these houses up, not an individual builder. If it were an individual builder, it wouldn't be an issue. These guys will not change their specs for anything. These are just the cards I've got so I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about opening the wall up. Backing out of the build or looking elsewhere isn't an option.
