ᐅ Carport parking spaces built smaller than planned – acceptable to tolerate?

A construction company built a carport with two parking spaces as part of a new multi-family house project. According to the architect’s plans, the internal width should be 5.30 m (17.4 feet), which means 2.65 m (8.7 feet) per parking space. The carport roof connects on one side to a prefabricated garage and has metal supports on the other side. However, the distance from the garage to the supports is now only 5.15 m (16.9 feet) because the supports were placed noticeably further inward. This means there is a shortage of 15 cm (6 inches), which to me is well beyond any typical tolerance. I’m not sure if this was technically necessary, but if so, the roof should have been made larger to maintain the planned internal dimensions. Originally, the plan was for a fully enclosed structure with only the upper area open. The final product is, however, completely open on all sides, with metal supports extending to the ground on one side. These supports are positioned in a way that the door cannot be opened because there are two supports blocking it, effectively acting like a wall.
This situation is very frustrating, especially since the underground parking spaces are only 2.50 m (8.2 feet) wide and we had planned the carport for a wider/larger vehicle. Is there any way to challenge or address this issue?

A roof overhang is definitely required, which is why the posts are set back. Exactly, this depends on the structural design and can vary between different providers.

How can a carport with a width of 530cm (209 inches) have a clear internal dimension of 510cm (201 inches)? A roof overhang is definitely necessary, which means the posts have to be set inward.The carport is shown on the plan as having a width of 550cm (217 inches)! The posts or support wall are drawn and are 20cm (8 inches) thick, which is why the internal width is 530cm (209 inches).
In the meantime, I have also measured a few spots in the underground garage... there is also a noticeable lack of space between parking spaces (visually speaking, from the rear end of the car) and the opposite wall... meaning the driving lane is about 30cm (12 inches) narrower.
Addition:
More precisely, the carport was originally planned to have a wall at the back and on one side (height unknown), with a support post on that wall both at the back and front, bearing the roof. On the other side, the finished garage serves as the support. At least, this is what the plan (exposé drawing) and the associated architectural drawings indicate. No roof overhang is shown or drawn here.

So far, I haven’t had a personal conversation yet... I still need to confront him about it. Because somehow you’ve been carrying a tape measure around for days without getting to the point. It won’t get any better. Go there, say what you need to say, and wait. Or accept it.
