I called and spoke to the scheduler, who after putting me on hold for 8 minutes said he didn't know why; said they must have read the numbers wrong. His comment was they try to "accommodate" the requests and that it was too late to fix it.

Seems this happens fairly often enough that there should be greater transparency to the process.
He lied! The contract allows schedulers up to 24 hours to correct errors like this. You should contact contract admin and start the grievance process. They will likely get you some kind of settlement for the error.
