Basement Wall Concrete form

Hi,
As ou contractor has a 9 ft form I was questioning regarding our basement wall that was set to be 8'6". My concern it was going to be low after taking into consideration. 2" insulation, 3" concrete, ~3/4" flooring. Steel beam W8×18, ducts etc. When I start questioning, I have been advised that the 9ft form they finish the wall as 8'10. My question: why we need to lose 2" on a 9ft wall form and am I getting overly concerned if the wall is poured with 8'6"? I read a few posts the people saying the basement ceiling too low.
We will be using the basement as living space.
Thanks for clarifying it.
