Totally agreed with your whole message. Comment about the contract: some changes are easier than others. This one should be pretty easy — just use a different slipform than previously planned, and obviously slightly more concrete will be required. The plan layout remains exactly the same, and labour should not be significantly different. So I would consider “it’s in the contract” to be an invalid objection in this case to implementing your suggestion.
Going back and installing some form of bollard would be a way of fixing the already-completed parts, although real bollards would be much more expensive than knock-down ones.
