Does anyone know why "F. A change order to purchase new flooring" is not correct?

  A change order is additional cost that the owner has to pay to the contractor for a change in contract scope or time, either at the owner's request or due to errors/omissions in the documents prepared by the architect. A change order for new flooring is not appropriate in this case because it was the contractor's means and methods (not covering up a skylight opening) that resulted in the need to replace the flooring.

  I'm studying for PjM as well, got this one wrong and was stumped as well but for a different reason - when reading through it I immediately ruled out E because the question says the project had not achieved SC yet (punch list 10 days before... a few days later skylight left open). Surely there's no way the contractor has made a final payment application if there's no flooring, and as a result architect is not withholding? Everyone's just waiting on the insurance claim to be settled and the new flooring to arrive. Not much to add (Marie nailed it) other than this question annoyed me as well!
