On the first part of this game (Level 1?):
The curator is basically to blame, having issued an inadequate brief. If the initial brief is weak, the contractor can write an inadequate project design that fully complies with the brief - and the curator will have no legal or other basis for insisting on something better.
However, whatever the quality of the project design, the contractor is to blame if they don't actually do what it says in either the brief or the project design. The curator is also to blame if they don't enforce it.
On part 2 of the game (Level 2?):
Part one appeared to imply that the work was a mitigtion excavation in response to a planning condition. Under those circumstances, the curator can't do anything other than try to persuade the developer to do more work or change his design, purely on the basis of goodwill.
If it is a pre-planning permission evaluation, as implied in Part 2, then the curator has a lot of leeway to condition the work and demand an appropriate WSI.
