Dang90, good evening.

Have you paid the plasterer?

Was the heating on when the walls were plastered?

Give it a couple of days, then try tapping the cracked areas, see if they sound hollow?

how thick is that plaster?

What's under it?

Was it done in one coat?

Wow. That looks like either they’ve skimmed over wood/ply, or over ridiculously dried out plaster background without controlling the suction.
Either way I wouldn’t say it’s salvagable...
