My thoughts on this exactly... We have neighbors here that are at complete odds with the home builder because things didn't work out exactly as they had "envisioned" with their new house. They are very much at fault for not only how they made changes in the original plans, but also how they handled the issues after the fact with the builder. They currently hate their new house because of all of the issues they've had to deal with. We are perfectly happy with how ours turned out...the issues have been almost non-existent. Same exact builder...

It's a catalog of bastard parts in many cases that don't tango so nice.

It falls into the "unrealistic expectations" folder if you ask me... Someone with a vested interested in making sure that everything plays nice with one another needs to be the one tweaking and tuning once the build is finished. They are never "finished" until they do the things they were designed and built to do with no issues...and there are ALWAYS issues...
