Brand new oak front door is separating

Just noticed that one of the panels in our new front door has started to separate with the recent heat/humidity. I brought it up with our contractor and he said it is normal for wooden doors to expand and contract as the seasons change.

This is a 1/2” wide separation and you can see the glue is failing. I have owned several wooden front doors, some far cheaper than this one, and never seen anything like this.

Just looking for a second opinion before I tell him how I really feel
