ᐅ Poor painting work or faulty plastering?

Yes, it’s possible. At least any competent painter should still be able to manage that. Unless they know their paint is really bad and that it can’t (or won’t) be sanded off, and nothing else will stick to it.
But yeah, for just a thousand it won’t be done, even without bad paint.

I have some difficulty assessing the plaster because the photo quality is not the best. These are smartphone pictures, and the phone software can alter images quite a bit.
What I see here doesn’t really match our own Q2 plaster. Q2 is also fine-grained! This looks more like our exterior plaster texture, which is coarser.
Additionally, it seems the painter may have used too little paint.

As I said before: what you see in these photos might not accurately reflect reality.

Exactly! What kind of plaster did the plasterer use? It looks like roughcast.

Besides that, I see the “mistake” here with the painter. Even as a “professional,” they have some responsibility to inform the layperson that you shouldn’t just paint over a surface like this.
But who knows what kind of “professional” was involved. The original poster can probably provide more details—if they want to.
