You can buy "insert" or "replacement" windows, which are designed to
be set inside the frame of the existing window, so as not to have to
replace the window trim.

We have several schools with opaque operable sections in the
window wall to provide egress. These are commercial units made by
EFCO. Ask your inspector before making the decision, but the
concept is doable.

Let's see...window wall, school, commercial unit, egress, liability
issues...I'm guessing $3K each, minimum.

For a guy who doesn't want to pay a few hundred dollars for a new
window, and won't even contact the designer about their mistakes...

And, I'll bet that those opaque operable sections are either first
floor *at* ground level, or have provisions for exits such as a fire
escape.
