Bought STP with wrong date

I bought STP 8 days on August 25 with intent to travel on September 18.
But , probably, did not change date and now ticket says start date August 25 .
We wont be in Switzerland until Sept 18 . How should fix this huge mistake?
Thank you

I guess people just wanted to take care what was left after other pieces were in place,
