The developer should step up to the plate and fix what was never done correctly.
That probably means they have to remove the entire ceiling to get to the guts of the problem, but you shouldn't let them off the hook.
This is really a shame for all the homeowners who have to deal with a situation such as this.

If the problem is non anchored seams (I have no knowledge as to how the developer installed the ceiling) then I agree with Mrs. Robinson. The developer should be pressured to step up to the plate. Temperature variations most likely is aggravating this situation but is a cop out. All the more reason the Developer should have rock spliced the seams in a Lanai. Almost any kind of fix most likely will involve patching the ceiling which OP claims is very difficult. This means removing the entire texture (like removing popcorn ceiling) and redoing. Start comparing cost for workarounds VS the right way. Might as well rip the drywall down and do the seams right.
