if it is a 3 phase motor, swap any 2 wires to reverse it
if it is a single phase, capacitor start motor, swapping the 'hot' and 'capacitor' wires should do the trick.
if it is an ac/dc brush style motor, reverse EITHER (but NOT both!!) the 2 field wires, or the 2 armature/brush leads .

If its single phase, the field coils have been misconnected, simple to fix. If its a big enough motor you will find the terminals inside the connection box, but you will not know what to change! and I cant see it. Take it back to the winders.
If its 3 phase, swap any two supply leads.

oh dear. AC motors revolve based on the "slip" angle between the magnetic difference between the coils.
I guess they wound it the wrong way. If all the coil connections are internal I doubt you can do anything about it.

The power has been connected up the wrong way l......or they have rewinded the wrong hand........or the earth magnetic field has reversed over night........or you are looking at it from behind rather than the front

They have connected the power the wrong way. Negative to positive and vica-versa.
