I don't know. What would you advise me do?
If a bucket https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ was used and the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ wasn’t dry , the moisture could leech out through the joints creating a patchy effect. If not , then it could be over washed creating lighter patching. Etc.

The tile was done in a morning. They were in a rush. How would you rectify this?

No grout needs to be removed or sealed with fuga fresca.
Have you aired your concerns with your installer.?
They initially said it is still drying then tried to redo it but it is no better and brown marks now in grout. I have just asked for it to be retiled await response. I payed a lot of money.
