No brickwork is completely flat.
Frames are easily bent out of true by the fixing screws.
When door frames are installed, Packing pieces are put under it to make up irregularities/prevent it from being distorted. Either bits of wood or, these days, plastic.

Cement/ render may be additionally squeezed under it afterwards.
This is why door fitters/carpenters are skilled.
It seems yours weren't. Not uncommon these days.
It's definitely crap workmanship.
