I can't even understand what the questions are about. I'm looking at it simply as:
1) Your deposit got stolen
2) So did your parts.
Not counting what I'm reading as an "amicable" delay, you've been ripped off for almost a year. It's one thing if you're a que sera sera kind of person and want to write it off, but you obviously feel ripped off- because you have been.
Contrary to OP's thoughts and our legal system's technicalities, its criminal. Do something about it and stop feeling like a victim. If you don't want to go through the hassle, at least speak up so the builder doesn't have the opportunity to do the same to others.
Good Luck.
