ᐅ Are deviations of about 1.2 cm in the kitchen measurements due to fine plastering problematic?

Hello everyone,
I have ordered my first kitchen (L-shape plus kitchen island). Since it is an old building, after measuring and kitchen planning, it turned out that the electrical wiring had to be completely rearranged. This has already been done, and now the numerous electrical channels need to be filled and the walls replastered (the wallpaper will also be removed).
According to the painter, about 4–6mm (0.16–0.24 inches) of plaster will be applied to the walls.
My question is: are deviations of up to 6mm (0.24 inches) per wall compared to the already completed measurements problematic, or is there usually a tolerance accounted for in practice? Since the longer side involves two walls, this adds up to a deviation of up to 1.2cm (0.47 inches) in total. On the shorter side, where a freestanding refrigerator will be placed, a 1cm (0.39 inches) difference is not an issue.
The countertop is natural stone.
Unfortunately, my kitchen installer is on vacation until next week, while the painter is scheduled to start in the middle of this week.
Attached are some pictures of the planning.
Thank you very much in advance!

Why does the window sill need to be 6 mm longer? At most 6 mm deeper ... isn’t the countertop planned to be in the window recess?I also meant deeper.Currently, it is planned separately. The countertop is at a height of 91 cm (36 inches), and behind it at 89 cm (35 inches) is the window sill, also made of granite.

The cleaning strip goes all the way through anyway, which you can’t see in the photo. That’s actually the wrong window. New construction or renovation?
If the faucet is in front of the window, a divided window with fixed glazing at the bottom or another special window is recommended.
Especially in the kitchen, you want to be able to ventilate sometimes.

I just saw your floor plan and the pictures and thought: hey, we are planning something similar! The layout and planning are quite alike! May I ask who designed your kitchen?
Is your kitchen already installed? Are you happy with the arrangement? I’m still considering in our planning whether the work triangle is well positioned or if you always have to walk around the corner of the kitchen island...
Best regards
