Call the builder and call the window company to a meeting and show
them the problem. Make them fix it.

Hmmm,
Definitely sounds like poor installation. Must be under warranty and
make sure issue is corrected and check other windows carefully as well.
Winter is coming soon.

Can you see if the installer sprayed foam gap filler there?
If you use too much it will expand and cause a bulge.

Not necessarily too much, but possibly the wrong kind.

Great Stuff Window and Door is minimally expanding and is not supposed to
bow window or door frames. I used it on all my windows and doors. If you
use too much it expands outward and you can trim it off.

I assume that too much and no where to go could bow a sill, but I've never
had a problem like that since it always found an outlet.
