One more idea.
I think the window was installed OK because they are usually installed on
the sheating before the masonry. Than the masonry covers the nail flange
(modern) or touches the brickmold (old fashion)(Are they Anderson windows it
looks like the terrratone color?). It seams the sill was not installed close
enough to the sheating. I have seen this before with brick homes. Some
builders will get coil stock that matches the window color, make a small
bend to stiffen it, and slide it under the window and out over the sill. If
done correct this will look like part of the window.
Any way you will lose lots of leverage if you close. Make sure all is fixed
before you close don't rely on punch lists to ever get done.

We are about to close on a house and we noticed a few major flaws

The first is on the limestone windows sill. Our house is 2/3 brick
and on the first level we have a limestone ledge that also acts as a
sill for our three front windows. Now, they laid the brick at a
slight angle and one the right side it comes out too far. in order
for them to lay the sill correctly they have left a 1/2 horizontal gap
between the sill and the window which they have conveniently calked.
I have heard that horizontal calking can be problematic. Also it
looks horrible. Any opinions would be appreciated
