What transpired between you is called a manufacturing contract (Istisna'). You both have the right to annul the contract or modify the stipulated conditions and price by mutual consent if the agreed-upon specification becomes impossible to achieve, or to deviate from what was stipulated by your agreement. You do not have the right to refuse to pay the remaining agreed-upon price, but you do have the right to reject what contravenes the agreed-upon specification. You may also waive the remaining price in exchange for the defect that occurred, by mutual consent.
