Not a problem. The old turf will just decompose and feed the new turf.
The way most contractors work around here, you probably also just
doubled the amount of loam you have. Be quiet, nod and smile before
they change their mind. Just my $0.02...

Err could be I’m afraid ! That’s just going to mess up the drainage they put in and create a pan layer! After a time when the old turf starts to brake down it will also make your lawn soft and sponge. Not the best but its up to you.
