It shouldn't be a huge deal to move the vent. Talk with your construction manager/general contractor about cost. Would think it would be about $500 or so unless there are mitigating circumstances. Is there an electrical junction box in place already for the chandelier?

We bought a bench that measures 18H x 60L x 14D. It will be placed along the window wall. I found an older picture that shows the space a little better. We have Windsor style chairs for the kitchen side of the table.

Our table has a trestle base and is 38W x 60L with an 18" leaf that we will hopefully use when company arrives.

I've also added a photo of our house plan, but we did have to bump our island toward the dining room by a few inches.

This isn't a true dining room which makes the space very tight to begin with. I was still hoping to have a chandelier in the space but now I think I will have to live with an alternative solution.

There is not an electrical box in place right now. Perhaps if one had been placed, our HVAC crew would have chosen a different location. I was hoping the vent could be moved, but we are worried about the delay. We are only a couple weeks from completion and would have to wait on HVAC, then drywall, then paint. It would be worth it but we worried about cost and timing.

Are you actually planning on 2 eating spaces in this floor plan, too late now but the space could probably been better used.I also would not use a bench at a dining table they are very awkward to get in and out of and with no back very uncomfortable for dining.Your floor plan does not include the DR measurements BTW

We only have the breakfast room for eating space and it is approx. 12' x 8'.

No it isn't a true dining space. Can we see the REST of the main floor plan please? I'd not want a decorative fixture near that in any scenario. Is it heat/ ac? Or a cold air return?

I'd add more recessed, and perhaps even a couple wall sconces either sides of windows.

Or, show the remainder of the plan as it could be a nice little two chair sitting area as well. .....versus table/chairs

Your pendants appear high, and a bit small for your island ......which appears to be 8 feet?

Would you recommend adding another pendant over the island?

Here's the whole floor plan.

You should have been included in the decision about locating the vent during the construction period. You can’t trust a builder’s crew with important decisions and should have been on site at least once a day for direct consultation. The builder is also at fault for not consulting you...he must have at least had your phone number.
***This is the reason why you (or any owner) need your own supervisor if you can’t be on site during construction.***
The vent should be moved immediately. If the system plans did not show the location of the vent, the planner was remiss in his duty. I also don’t see an electrical box for connecting the chandelier, so apparently the architect, planner and/or designer did not include it in the electrical specifications. Stupid error.

First option would be to get the vent moved as it’s going to be there for a long time & annoy the heck out of you. It’s poor form to place it there without consultation. If it can’t be moved, for an acceptable technical reason, then an offset linear light could work.

Or a wall mounted pendant

Electrical plan shows......?

Add a month to your current completion time estimates plus changes you're still making.

Please, please, have this moved! It will drive you nuts to have air blowing on you while you eat at your dining room table. I know this because we have a vent that blows into one of our showers! (I didn’t design the house or oversee the build.)

A month to move a vent that shouldn’t have been placed in that position in the 1st place?

At this point, I think two pendants, a tad bigger would help quite a lot. I would stick with recessed in the breakfast area.

Jeffrey Grenz took the other "electrical plan" words out of my fingers: , SIGH.

Having the same issue. Here's a few of the solutions I found. A wide plate may be all you need, but if you don't have a junction box yet, I don't know.

its no good sitting under a vent. since the vent arrives at that location at the end of a run, there should be no issue with shortening the run and having the vent closer to a wall.
