Hawaii case the developer was incompetent, not intentional.
As a developer, I've dealt with this often in NJ. As an example, we would have had to plant many dozens of trees to replace the ones downed by Hurricane Sandy as the storm hit after our approvals and before work began. We were able to re-survey the property to show the lost trees and amend our approvals, at a cost of a few thousand, opposed to planting 3-4 dozen replacement trees.
There has been a few cases of the wrong house being demolished.

And what if you cut down said 32 trees to build this house. Not a storm hit, but Pedro, Jose and Francisco pulled the stihls out of the truck and went HAM on the lot.
Then you found out they were on the wrong lot.
A storm didn’t blow the trees down by accident.
The trees are otoh still down.
The lot holder needs to be made whole.
Tiny $10 Home Depot replacements may not cut it in many cases.
