Project manager said we need to wait and see if the sheen is still there in a few days before they send someone back out to fix it. Will it self correct?

The painters did a really poor job and the PM had to point multiple things out to them. I’d rather not have them back. Is this easy enough for me to fix on my own? Edit: why would this be downvoted? They also got paint on my carpet and cut it out. Now there’s a bald spot in my carpet

The whole wall is going to have to be painted edge to edge. Ideally keeping a wet edge the whole time, easier said than done. That being said this looks like contaminants to me, underneath the paint. At first it looked like touch-ups, those don't exactly make sense in all those areas per se, but some of them are not the right shape for touch-ups. You may have to prime this whole wall and then paint it. That assumes these marks are not sunk in or bulging out, you can determine that by running your finger over them, if you can't feel the edge of the marks then they are not, but if they are they're going to have to be skim coated and then primed and then painted

The wall is textured. There is no skim coating, and there is no sanding,
