Well yeah, of course it was, this is the Saudi government we're talking about. The expansion was carried out, and as if to placate the shuyookh, they also built levels, which in all honesty makes no sense. Just build, oh, I don't know, more levels? They have enough money to build these giant stupid clock-towers, they can build more levels... It's probably ruined a lot of people's hajj. The government will certainly have that to answer for on Qiyamah.
