After returning from our vacation, we visited our construction site for the first time today. In the meantime, the internal window sills have been installed. We were shocked by the many cracks.... Of course, it is a natural material, but it really doesn’t look good. Is this normal and something we just have to accept?
Another question: Our front entrance door has already been installed, even though the interior plastering hasn’t been done yet. We have already noticed some scratches. The door wasn’t covered at all to prevent damage. The interior work is only just beginning, and different tradespeople are coming and going. How was this handled in your experience, and who is responsible for any potential damage?
Thank you for your opinions. We’re a bit upset with the carpenter right now.

But there is nothing mentioned about cracks. Or did I miss it? No, not directly. But which part of the information sheet would explain or justify them?

If you want to make any progress with the construction, unfortunately that's how it is. You either accept it, or everything will be delayed even further However, I don’t see any quartz veins. Inclusions would make sense to us as well…
Replacing it shouldn’t disturb any other trade, I think.
I would give it another try.
But I also agree with @Steffi33: if she says it’s not a problem, then I’m with her. You just get used to it once the first piece of furniture is in the room.
The information sheet only mentions quartz veins. It now needs to be clarified what is actually present.
In the case of Steffi33, these appear to be quartz veins (not an open crack), which occur naturally and therefore do not constitute a defect.
So, the question to clarify is: is it a crack or a quartz vein?

Whether you can accept them—as @Steffi33 does—or decide to take action against them is another matter.Maybe they are actually just natural calcium deposits and therefore not a defect.
