Bought this japanese maple. Realized this only after planting. Guess it is doomed considering the green bark left.

The green rope cut the tree deep, what you see is the remaining of it. Sorry for bad english
No it’s not doomed .
It will heal over time and if you work on it you can get a sprout from below the girdling
If you truly girdle it just below the rope girdling it likely will send shoots from below
Guaranteed?
No but reasonable chance
Just letting it grow there’s about a fifty % intact and it will grow over it
Should it have been sold not at full price
There are two avenues of survival
Just letting it grow will leave a weekspot so keep it? Or not
Personally I’d try the complete girdle and get a shoot from below
