Why would we not file change order for this question. It is unclear as the question does not state the time or sum were affected.

  Because the contractor and Architect haven’t agreed on a solution yet, so you issue a construction change directive or CCD.

  The main goal is to keep construction on schedule. The owner is also committed to this change occurring. A change order will delay this revised scope waiting for approvals from all parties, while a CCD would get this scope expedited to continue construction without delay, while accounting for the added cost to be worked out later.

  Making small changed to a framed wall layout can be done with no deliberation or redesign, so CCD is more appropriate, it forces immediate action and maintains schedule. A change order introduces a chance for negotiation, where the contractor can whine about the price and impact of changes and slow down the schedule.
