What could cause a big lump on the stomach of a female cat that was fixed seven days ago?
My first thought would be surgical dehissence, where the sutures didn't hold together long enough for the incision to heal. This can be caused by improper suture technique, excessive movement of the incision, or a cat licking and grooming the incision. Other causes would be surgical incision abscess (which would have the same potential causes as the dehissence), a surgical line hernia or a hematoma in the surgical line. Regardless of what this is, you need to take your cat back to the veterinarian immediately. After examining the area, your veterinarian may need to take your cat back into surgery to clean the area up and create new fresh edges to the incision that will heal better.

Of course, any surgical incision or surgical equipment used on the body can cause bruising. The physiology of how a bruise forms remains the same, no matter how the bruise is caused.
