Most broadly, and I hope you don't take offense at this, but I have a sneaking suspicion the developer may be in a position to say it isn't his problem, because he didn't pick your lot. A former neighbor of mine who lived to the rear wanted me to re-grade my lot because my lot was draining into his, and his was sloped toward his house. That he picked a poorly draining lot wasn't my problem. I have a feeling the developer may make the same claim - he would assert that the relative heights of the lots were evident before you bought the lot, so you knew or should have known about potential drainage issues going in.
