ᐅ House connections located in a different place than originally planned

Good morning,
I am hoping to get some advice regarding the following situation:
According to the builder’s plans, our technical equipment is supposed to be located in one corner of the basement (main electrical panel, utility shaft, heating system, etc.). This was also confirmed during a walkthrough of the basement, where we were told everything would be in that corner.
However, the house connections have now been installed, and electricity, water, and telephone lines come into the opposite corner of the basement. The cables and pipes have to be routed across the entire wall to reach the other corner.
In my opinion, this reduces usable basement space, and the original idea to separate the technical area from the children’s play area is no longer feasible.
We are doing a turnkey build with a developer, so we are not acting as self-builders. According to the construction company, this decision was made by the local utility providers.
Do we have any influence over this?
Are there any recommendations?
If not, could this potentially justify a compensation claim for the lost basement corner and wall space?
Thank you very much!

Why would the jam jars in the basement care about looking at any pipes?

Utility providers always route connections from the street to the house at a right angle. Diagonal routing across the property is not possible. The solution is either to relocate the utility room or to move the connections on the street. The costs for changing the connections on the street at least led us to plan the utility room from one side of the house to the other (we are building on an existing plot, so the connections were already in place).
