We asked the installers if they could be moved back and they said it can't be done because of the hoses. They said all the new models do this and the Villages really should start allowing more depth in the laundry room.
Has anyone else had this experience? Is there any solution or fix for the problem?

In addition to all the good advice above I also installed these 45 degree faucet hose adapters at the washer wall faucets. Click on

We reduced front-to-back space requirements almost two inches and did not put excess bending pressure on the hoses using the using these.
Our two year old Gardenia has 30" from back wall to door frame. Our LG front loaders are almost 28" deep, with front knobs. So the 2 inches were important to us. Our dryer vent fit right into the recessed wall dryer vent opening as originally built and did not "push" the dryer into the room.
