But it also doesn't specify that they'll come out of the wall, or "at appropriate locations for use with ***X Pedestal Sink model ***xx to be installed", or we wouldn't be having this conversation; you'd be holding the contract in his face with your finger on the words. That leaves it up to the builder/plumber to decide details.

Show me a cut sheet on any sink where it shows the water lines coming out of the floor, you won't find one. Without exception the rough in specs from every manufacturer recommends they come out of the wall. The only circumstance it is ever considered acceptable to come out of the floor is in a cabinet where they are hidden. In a spec house the contractor may get away with it (depending on the general) but in a custom house there is no way the plumber should expect to be able to come trough the floor on a wall mount or pedestal sink.

Agreed, if the contract specifies a particular pedestal sink, the specs for that sink would be part of the contract by reference. The OP's problem is that the GC has already given them a TS reply.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
