all depends on terms and conditions of sale deed.

Show all documents to local lawyer and discuss in detail.
Whether said extra land is provided?

Show the agreement of sale to a local lawyer. Generally such dues are claimed by builder before execution of Sale Deed and not at the time of possession, as stated/ alleged by you, which I do not subscribe to your point.
However, if the builder has not handed over constructive possession after execution of Sale Deed, wherein symbolic possession was given in the "Sale Deed", issue notice and file a suit for specific performance through a local prudent lawyer.
