Looks like it. Or set it wrong.

We'd call that the "jamb" of the window in this case. Can it not be pushed to the exterior to be flush with the wall? Not much you can do if not except to trim out the casing in such a way by ripping out the back of the casing or doing some sort of stacked detail.

What does it look like on the outside? Did they set the window in wrong on the outside or was it ordered wrong?
