Addition to house, added slab to 7.5' x 21' porch surrounded on 3 sides. Brick & siding exterior. I think the framers thought there was going to be continuous brick, because the framing is set back about 3"-4" from edge of slab, but siding was put in there & so exterior of house is set back from edge of slab now. Am concerned about water getting into house from exposed slab. Thanks.
Is it a problem if the framing is 4″ short of the edge of slab foundation

If when everything is done, the slab will have an exposed horizontal surface, then yes, that is incorrect. Either the plans were drawn incorrectly, or someone didn't follow them. Whoever made the mistake should be responsible to fix it.
At this point, your options are to rip down the wall and fix it, double the thickness of the wall (weird) or remove the bottom row of siding and install flashing.
