Unlike other buildings, you need to have a reason to make these before the builders start. For example, you can put up a stained glass window decoration on a monastery, then the builder will start to make it . . . not before.

I tried this and waited for several minutes and nothing happened

You tried what? Did you add a decoration to a monument that said one of its resources was stained glass? Did you add a decoration to a monument that said one of its resources was a statue (and if so, do you have the subcomponents thereof?); some statues take marble, some gold, etc.

You can't produce stained glass or statues for storage. It can only be produced for a building that actively needs it. Unless there is such a project, the master builder will not do anything.

I tried to add a stained glass window to a church and a monastery building

I keep encountering a frustrating bug with the windows. When trying to add a second stained glass window to my Abbatial church, it just stops. All the supplies are there. The master builder completed the window. It says he's assigned to the site. But then he shows up for work, it blinks, and it says he is then "waiting for work."

The first time it got stuck, I was resizing the nave and adding the window at the same time, which also blocked the nave construction. At one point, I had "5 builders assigned" with all the supplies shown as present, and they just wouldn't do anything. I ended up deleting the (previously complete but stuck during resizing) nave and rebuilding it at the larger size without the window first. It happened again when trying once more to add the window (which the master builder reconstructed), as the only edit.

So that's quite a lot of lost stones, marble, glass, and tools, and still no second window.
