Should we be disappointed with this job? Is it fixable?

We've just had an attic wall plastered, and we've noticed a few issues with the finish. Some of these may be due to the plasterer following the frame of the window.

1. Plaster line does not match with window

2. The plaster is at more of an angle on one side of the window than the other

3. Poor straight line finish at the top of the window

I'd be grateful for any feedback, thanks.

it’ll look worse when it’s dry. it’s probably not been boarded very well, which has led to the plasterer not being able to plaster it very well.
looks rushed and shoddy and whats with all the plaster on the plastic?
you can only let it dry and hope to be able to sand it back.
 
What do you mean by plaster on the plastic? Do you mean the plaster on the Velux window frame edges? Do you think it would be difficult to redo the job properly rather than sand it back? And (if you have any idea), how much would you expect to pay for a quality finish? We feel duped and frustrated at the moment ..
 
hard to put a price on it as the picture only shows the window.
you could wait for it to dry and re-bead and square it up and seal and skim over it again .
