I've worked on quite a few finished basements. Most of them did not have
plastic against the foundation and I didn't notice anything detrimental as a
result.
I don't know about your area, but in New Jersey a basement bedroom is
required to have an egress window. It is also a requirement to have fire
stops behind the walls.
I hope that you will be getting this project inspected.
