The Polynesian and Copper Creek Master Declarations have the same wording on the Guaranteed Week. There is nothing that requires a Fixed Week start and stop on Sunday.
However, there is a stipulation that Disney will always have at least 65% of each accommodation type available for the traditional DVC members. The Polynesian Master Declaration states
"However, DVD will not sell Fixed Ownership Interests that include more than thirty-five (35%) of any specific day for any specific Vacation Home Type in the Plan. This means, for example, that Christmas day will be available for reservations on a first-come, first served basis in at least sixty-five (65%) of the "Studio Lake View" Vacation Home." (section 12.11.1.2, emphasis added)
Given the flexibility of the wording in the documents, DVD could easily sell weeks that start on any day of the week. They could also shift weeks around without a problem as long as DVD always leaves 65% of each accommodation type available for traditional DVC members to book.
Given the very small number of Fixed Weeks sold so far at Copper Creek (only 9 such deeds through December 2017), DVD will have no difficulty keeping within the 35%-65% cap.
As the fixed weeks are not a popular product it shouldn't be an issue. If there were more popular and being sold at 35% then by that wording DVD could have an issue with a floating week as they'd have to take that into account for any weeks that a person might reserve in since they weren't held to Sun-Sun. ie - say they couldn't sell 35% of weeks 43, 44 and 45 as the floating Wine and Dine week might be reserved into any of those depending on the race dates and take up more than 35% of the rooms on a day.
