How much say do you have over refinements?

I have just finished 20 trays and am happy with the results from an aesthetic point of view. Mine was a very minor issue anyway.

However on one side, my bottom teeth hit the back of my top teeth. It's not a major problem, but is mildly irritating. I went for my end of treatment scan and assumed it could be fixed with another few trays, or some shaving. When having my scan I asked them to tell me what the plan would be before moving ahead.

I didn't hear anything and so I followed up after a week. They sent the plan and have ordered my trays without checking with me first. It's 16 more trays and lots more IPL, which seems like a lot for a small issue. Obviously I'm not an expert, but it's just a case of moving the bottom teeth back a little (they're hardly moving the top ones at all). I'm worried they're fixing both this issue and others that I don't have a problem with. Also there will be new attachments on my front bottom teeth that I'm sure are going to hit my top teeth when I chew, at least until the bottom teeth move back.

Should they have checked/ discussed the refinements with me before ordering?

How likely are they to ammend the plan now that I'm not happy?

Has anyone asked for their refinements to be minimised/ changed?
