It's possible the contractor has made an error that will be corrected, but in any case, even if they widened that, I'd still call it a bad design.
I think that the retaining wall was built before it was decided to put a trail there.
Parts of it were, in fact, you can see in the photo where the old retaining wall is because the stones are a different colour.
You can see that the retaining wall has been lowered, and new top stones have been placed. The original top stones begin just before the cup you see sitting on the retaining wall. It is clear in the foreground as well, that the retaining wall used to be higher at that point, and it was lowered.
Like I said, this shows that the wall has been modified INTO the state shown in the image, and is unlikely to be modified further unless the contractor has made errors as the top stones have already been placed.
Honestly, this isn't remotely surprising. As I've said, the region is notorious for this kind of bad engineering.
