Pull some baseboards and take a look. If he didn't leave a gap, I wonder if you can cut it in situ with a toe kick saw or something like that so you don't have to re-lay it (assuming the LVP hasn't been damaged by the buckling).

Once it’s buckled it typically gets replaced as it’s not elastic enough to return to its original shape.

Thank you for the reply and I will definitely take your advice. We have a few extra boxes of planks and can replace damaged ones if needed.
