There are several things that a BA must communicate to the Business Team when considering the solution given by the development team.
1. Does this solution impacts the current project schedule?
2. Will this cost more money?
3. Will this effect the quality of the software? Eg. BA needs to evaluate if this solution is a temporary solution or a long term fix. If its going to solve a problem in future BA must know what exactly Business Stakeholder wants. Even if there is a minor changes to the schedule and Budget are they willing to chose the permanent solution.
4. Is there any Risk when considering this solution?

First I would question why your BA is solutioning in their requirements. Your requirements should only capture the functional requirement and the inputs and outputs. You Dev team should be providing a technical approach based on those provided requirements. This does not appear to be the be the case. So in this circumstance if I were the BA in this situation I would alert my PM of the requirement change. Have the PM lead a meeting with the business users including the Technical Lead. Discuss the findings reach a decision with all involved. It is never the BA's decision as to whether or not a solution is 'good'. You are the liaison...the messenger and should remain unbiased. Your job is to manage requirements the project managers job is to manage the project (scope budget resources etc.). I hope this helps.
