What major impact would it have on concrete columns after columns are chipped-off to expose dowels for intermediate beams?

RE: Embedded Dowels
I assume that these bars were intentionally casted in this location with the intent of using them as dowels later?
How big and what grade are these bars? Is this a special concrete moment frame?
Seems like a lot of extra work and compromising of the column just to save some forms from permanent holes. But that's contractors for ya!
