If the OP could supply the details of the original and replacement flight times then they would get more tailored advice.

Also the AF-KLM 787's have GE engines, not Rolls Royce, so that's not a factor here. I guess the more practical problem for the OP is what s/he would do if KLM refuses an initial, justified compensation claim. Where to then?
