To change formwork is expensive and time consuming for 1 or 2 floors and this is probably either the formwork company offering a credit to the GC to keep floor levels at 9' or possibly the GC doing it to meet schedule and get occupancy dates.
The fact that they're telling you its just a miscommunication (and you have no way of proving otherwise ) is definitely crappy on their part.
Its the other way around. No chance that the drawings show 11' and the formworker/GC is trying to "save time/money" to form 9'. That just doesnt happen. Plus they have Verdi on this job who would form 20ft without question.
Sales/marketing gets details about floors from construction. Someone made a mistake or didnt properly check the drawings. It could have been clearly shown or there could have been a transfer slab that would not be picked up by some office staff at the sales/marketing stage.
