No as far as im aware. What's the weather like where you live ? Unless the plasterer used too much water in the mix, but then you'd expect sagging. Is is wet wet or just damp to touch?

Strangely my parents just had this and had to delay their decorator by a few days. It did dry eventually. We’ve had a lot of rain where we are so probably because of that.
Keep your windows and doors open as much as you can and maybe you could borrow a dehumidifier?

Skimmed or fully plastered? That's not unusual. Don't use a dehumidifier, you risk cracking it. Continue to allow it to dry naturally.
