Not sure but I would think there should be a tighter seal?

" Not sure but I would think there should be a tighter seal? "

That is the window stool and jamb extensions, or both a trim piece and is installed completely fine and normal to have a small gap. What type of build is this, custom, semi-custom or tract or developer type construction?

Jamb reveals are a bit off, but that is pretty normal in new construction to be honest. This aren't trim carpenters that are doing finishing and hanging drywall.
