ᐅ Moisture issue with interior plaster after installing external insulation using ventilated rainscreen system

Hello,
we are currently working on a rough construction site schedule and have come across a question.
We plan to insulate the exterior facade with 25cm (10 inches) ETICS (classic polystyrene boards) immediately after completing the exterior walls, roof, and window installation. (The advantage is that we only need to set up scaffolding once, and we avoid issues with drying times during winter.)
Now to my question:
If we plaster the interior walls afterward, will the moisture introduced during this process still be able to escape effectively if the external thermal insulation is already installed on the exterior wall? The same applies to the screed applied afterward.
Thank you very much for your information and answers.
Best regards,
Stefan

Peanuts7414 Jun 2016 10:11We also took about 15 months from groundworks to moving in, although we did quite a lot of the work ourselves...

Allow 1-2 weeks for moving in and tidying upHaha, that was good...
You should actually expect more like 1-2 months.
