This will be down to your window suppliers. Having had windows from two different suppliers over the years, both taped the frames during manufacture. When I was building a couple of years ago the window frames were taped inside and out, the plaster was applied over the tape and I used a scalpel to cut the tape along the line of the plaster and peeled the tape off. It took a while but it was well worth it in the end.

If your windows don't come with tape on them, I would leave them and clean them as soon as possible after the plastering is finished.
