Maybe... it wasn't cut by the builder at all, maybe that's how it arrived.They have cut it as it would have hit the pipes

Or, maybe the OP's clumsy builder intercepted this pan and cut the back out of it too?
No mate, not a builder.Are you said builder?
Seems you have an angle on this.
Btw... See my posts above.
I also think it's no biggie at all!
Makes sense - the wet clay (porcelain) needs more support until it's fired - then the "bar " is removed because it could be in the way when installed.No mate, not a builder.
Took the pan in the photo I posted out the box this morning and noticed the lugs. Reminded me of the OP's photo from this thread.
you are worrying about nothin and as for some people saying waste could have gone elsewhere they havent got a clue what is under the floor and why the waste possibly had to go there
They pulled*up the floorboard and re-did the plumbing work themselves so... yeah, they had plenty of time to plan and figure stuff out.The other side of that would be there was no mention of the installer saying to the client, we've had a look to move those pipes because of the bidet/toilet and they can't go in the wall because of A-B-C, so we need to cut the back out of your bidet .... so looks like it wasn't even considered.
It looks like the installer didn't check the units before it was too late and the tiling's done. I can't believe that any experienced installer would choose to cut a casting rather than move pipework. It could be argued that usually there wouldn't be bars like that in a typical casting, so the installer wouldn't have expected to find it and only saw it when it came out of the box when going to fit.
I supplied it but it was there already when the works started so they could have inspected it and plan accordinglyWho supplied the WC and bidet?
Would you have been happy if both pans where sitting off the wall with boxing behind?
yes I am 100% sure, he admitted it.Guess it's back to the OP ( @Poiup ) to find out if he is 100% sure that the installer did actually cut out the section or not.
because they had floor boards up doesnt mean that it could go elsewhere you cannot cut 2 inch notches into joists they are limited to how the actual joist run etcThey pulled*up the floorboard and re-did the plumbing work themselves so... yeah, they had plenty of time to plan and figure stuff out.

Of course not and if there were joist or other items in the way then fair enough. I think the OP's point is though, it seems the installer could have found out whether moving the pipes was an option or not during the 1st fix and therefore he could easily have said to the client ... "by the way, I'll need to cut that section out of the bidet because I can't move the pipework into the wall because there's stuff in the way that can't be altered and unfortunately that will invalidate the warranty on the bidet ... are you ok with that?"because they had floor boards up doesnt mean that it could go elsewhere you cannot cut 2 inch notches into joists they are limited to how the actual joist run etc
are you ok with that?"
