Do you have Cadimage windows? They can have arched heads. The attached image shows a quick example, but you can view in elevation and stretch node points to get the curve absolutely right. Not entirely sure if the schedule would dimension the curves though.

Cadimage is a company which (among other things) produces add-ons for Archicad, one of which is for doors and windows. Their website HERE. They're not cheap, but doors and windows in particular are very versatile. I have not used a standard AC window in years.

Search BIMComponents (you can do this from your window settings dialogue) for "Window".

You will find one called 'FreeForWindow' (not sure if this can do curved top) and another called 'Polyfenster 1' that looks like it can.
I haven't used these so can't say what they are like but they are free.

Another alternative is to make the window from slabs in plan and save it as a window object.
It is not adjustable then but you et exactly what you want.
