[...] few weeks ago I was talking about ways to correct the topology of a 3d model, without destroy any faces, vertices or edges of the model. The inspiration to write the article [...]

How i would do it:
select the edge loop of the window, bevel it without inset – that creates a new wanted edge loop exact at some position.

theKiwi’s technique is good.

With the pivot mode set as bounding box center (hit the comma key)and the edges you want outset selected

type ctrl-r to initiate a loop cut,

then lmb drag right back onto the outline you want to get the outset from and hit enter

then hit the s key to scale the new edge loop

i have always just selected the edge loop tool and before clicking to select where to place it, make it as small;hence right on top of the existing square. Once edge loop has been made it is automatically selected. Then just scale bigger to perfection…
