Pool contractor apologized that is was never updated in their system. What is the remedy for this issue? I'm told they will "chip" portions of it out and install the correct product over it. OMG

You want to insist on a complete chip-out of all plaster down to the gunite using flat chisels, not pointed chisels. Or sand blasting the plaster off.
You do not want two layers of plaster on a new pool as that will make it more expensive to replaster the pool again without a full chipout. And putting one layer on top of another opens you up to delamination problems or developing calcium nodules.
They must put a complete bonding coat on the surface after the chip out before installing the plaster.

They put in Signature Matrix Coastal Blue. We had chosen Primera Stone in Turquoise Treasure.

My other concern: they never got the pump running properly to draw down groundwater around the shell. They have closed the ground water pressure weephole with hydraulic cement. What must be done, if anything, to prevent this shell from lifting now?You want to insist on a complete chip-out of all plaster down to the gunite using flat chisels, not pointed chisels.

How long will the shell sit empty?
They should drill a new hydrostatic relief hole if it will be any length of time.

Talk to your builder and make him responsible for the decision to take the risk of leave it as is or to drill a relief hole.
I don't know what your groundwater situation is.
I'm not sure what exactly they are doing and I don't speak the language in order to communicate. I have a call in to my PB.

oh, I'm very aware of all that. I read all the specs and everything else related to plaster, wet edge, Premier stone, etc. Maybe it's hard to see in the pictures, but all parties have since agreed that what we have is not normal. A wet edge rep is set to come out, but not till March.

Let us know what they offer to do.
An acid wash should not be the solution.
