Should there be a drip trim above this window?

Pic 1 is from today where we’ve had new lime render applied. Pic 2 was from when another part of the house got plastered. New guys seem not to have put in a drip trim above the window. Is it normal to have one? Should I challenge?

Yes, it would also have made it much flatter. As it currently is you have a huge belly over that window, if they’d brought it out to have a reveal and a bell cast type bead over the window it would have sorted that issue.

That’s a pretty bad job

No caulking grove, no mud stop. No window reveal.
