ᐅ Is the Absence of a Ventilation Outlet in the Hallway a Serious Issue?

Hello everyone,
Recently, when we compared the plans, we noticed that the ceiling outlet for the mechanical ventilation system was missing in the hallway on the ground floor.
At one point, there was a circle visible in the structural ceiling (but filled in, possibly skimmed over, not sure), and when I checked last time, there was no duct inside; it’s still closed. I assume the outlet was forgotten or something went wrong.
Now, the underfloor heating and screed are already installed on the upper floor (if that matters). Is it still possible to fix this so late in the construction process?
If not, would it be a serious problem if this room is missing from the ventilation system? I’m not quite sure what the consequences would be, since we’ve never had a mechanical ventilation system before.

You have rooms with supply air where the air flows in, but the air also needs to be able to flow out of the room.
To achieve this, either the bottom of the door is trimmed or a gap is milled in the door frame so that the air can “overflow” into the hallway.
Then you have rooms with exhaust air where the air is drawn out; the air flows to these rooms from the overflow area in the hallway.
This creates the air exchange within the house. Then that might actually make sense that there is none in the hallway. As far as I know, it was planned as supply air there. We have exhaust air in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet.

It was just written like that in the construction drawings. I mean, we have a nice hallway, big, and there will also be a closet installed.
