I have faith in KyoAni, especially since this is the woman who directed the amazing second season and movie of K-On!, plus I hear Tamako Love Story is very good. Have faith guys, maybe a TV series will come after this?

Just want to remind people that KyoAni only significantly changed the artstyle of the materials when it's a material from their own property (a.k.a almost everything recently) or some which absolutely needs it anyway (Hyouka). On established materials? No, I believe they keep the essence of design at Nichijou or FMP. KEY adaptation is already moe to begin with.
So don't create assumption from uninformed speculation.
After a brief research, I've found that what you said is true. Chuunibyou, Kyoukai no Kanata, and Free! all belong to KyoAni. Most of us didn't know that, so thank you for the info. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems neither Amagi Brilliant Park nor Hibike! Euphonium are owned by KyoAni, yet the character designs are very KyoAni-like. Granted, the art in ABP's manga is mediocre, and the LN illustrations could easily be tweeked to look KyoAni style. I guess the more obvious one would be Hibike, I remember seeing the art that went with the TV anime announcement, and then seeing the difference between that and the key visual for the anime when it came out. But I guess this goes along with what you said about established materials, in which Hibike probably wasn't (idk).
Anyways, it doesn't change the fact that they like using that similar style. Other studios that have original anime always try something new, which KyoAni doesn't. Whether that's good or bad depends on the person, but I don't think there's harm in assuming that KyoAni will change the artstyle when they've kept with their typical character designs, even when they don't have to.

Yes they probably will if they condense all the events.
7 vol. in one movie?
I can see it working if they remove/alter the minor scenes such as other characters' development within the series.
