I still think is is rediculous for them to have to pay the developer to close early. It's their screw up. If the buyers had made the mistake, then they should have to pay, but not in this case.

What's the screw up? The builder had a deadline to meet and that's what he did. Just because he was a little early doesn't change the closing date agreed upon when the home was purchased. Unless things have changed they pay penalties if they don't make the date so being early is in their best interest, not your convenience.
To ask to close early involves: 1) scheduling, perhaps they already had a full schedule of closings for that earlier date. 2) paperwork, if the paperwork is already in the system and ready to be printed or already printed it would have to be redone. Also the various fees, interest, etc. would have to be recalculated. 3) The builder's walk through, again he may have a full schedule for that date. 4) utilities are probably scheduled to be switched on that particular date.
In my experiences TV does a great job of closing on time. When they say September 9, they absolutely mean September 9. They have a team of little worker bees buzzing around and getting everything ready for that date, and when September 9 arrives the little bees are all lined up ready for the closing.
