Is that schedule a rule or just a suggestion. I would like to up the amount of water it's getting. Also, maybe do it overnight. I know watering at night can lead to fungus issues. But my schedule says to start at 7 AM. I feel that water is evaporating quickly with the warmer mornings.
If your contractor advised you of the need to water more pay attention at least they are contacting you, cant blame them if your lawn goes bad.
