Under the new system, teams that get more time on kickoff get less time on stop build day, which is not even close to an even trade.

Are you talking about Hawaii and/or the difference between LA and NYC? Because this most drastically affects non-CONUS teams who live the other direction and get thus more time. Currently it's:
5AM in Honolulu
8AM in Los Angeles
11AM at FIRST HQ
12PM in Brasilia
4PM in London
5PM in Amsterdam
6PM in Tel Aviv and Istanbul
8:30PM in New Delhi
11PM in Beijing and Taipei
12AM in Tokyo (next day)
1AM in Canberra (next day)
Note this isn't accounting for daylight savings.
I love Hawaii too, but again I think this change is mostly looking east rather than west. West coast teams take a 3hr hit (5 for Hawaii) while international teams that already have enough challenges get multiple times that difference added on.
