Can you see if the installer sprayed foam gap filler there? If you use too much it will expand and cause a bulge.
Not necessarily too much, but possibly the wrong kind.
Great Stuff Window and Door is minimally expanding and is not supposed to bow window or door frames. I used it on all my windows and doors. If you use too much it expands outward and you can trim it off.
I assume that too much and no where to go could bow a sill, but I've never had a problem like that since it always found an outlet.
