My advice is to do what the developer wants.

In 2016, we wanted to build a Laurel Oak model home. The designer said it would cost $400K and we needed to give them $80K to start building. That was in early July 2016.

We gave them a check for that amount and they said our house would be ready on Oct. 1. On that date, we gave them a check for $320K and moved in.

During the next year, we found a few minor problems in the house, called the developer, and they were promptly fixed.
