KfW 55 standard
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
Current outdoor temperature 6°C (43°F)
Heating energy consumption including hot water 35 kWh
Electricity consumption 9 kWh
COP 3.88

I don’t fully understand the question, but for the bathroom there is a heat loss of 912 watts, which means that out of the required 1,612 watts only 700 come from the underfloor heating. The rest is coming from elsewhere ==> you need to tell us which electric heaters are installed on the walls.
It’s completely unclear how such a design can be made when different pipe spacing options are possible. You have 100 mm (4 inches) spacing everywhere. In the bathroom, 75 mm (3 inches) or even better 50 mm (2 inches) would have been an option.
Also hard to understand the choice of a 35/28 °C (95/82 °F) system. Why such a high temperature with such a large temperature difference?

Well, in the bathroom there is also a partial wall heating, and the layout is a bit tighter. But clearly the design needs *optimization*.

You basically have a dropped ceiling in every room, as far as I can see, right? 😳

Can you zoom in on a heating cycle? It looks like you have a return flow kick right after the heating cycle starts.

Sure, I have resolved it a bit differently this time.

Data logger diagram: supply line red, return line blue, outside temperature olive, actual domestic hot water purple.

Set this area alone so that minutes become visible

The breaks are really way too short for such a long runtime.
What causes the return temperature to drop so quickly?

I would say the -3 degrees Celsius (27°F) outside temperature 🙂. But since you have that too, it wouldn’t be an explanation.
