if you start with "redefine/broaden the construction contract", then continue with "to encompass design, coordination and construction" and forget "include" as "construction" has already been mentioned

ampliar el contrato de construcción a
widen /out/ the construction agreement to


Explanation:
... to include...

Very rarely, empirically, does widen out not work as a translation for 'ampliar' in many contexts though, oddly, is not translated as such in any KudoZ glossary entry.

Again, for UK legal consumption, a non-binding agreement is preferred to any hint of a binding contract.

Example sentence(s):
  • The Council, however, would like to make this opt-out permanent and widen it, in fact. europarl.europa.eu El Consejo, sin embargo, querría hacer permanente dicho opt-out y ampliarlo, de hecho.

extend the construction contract to


Explanation:
The agreement or contract of work is due to be extended or adapted.
"One year since the beginning of the building work, and since the client has found a flaw, it's necessary to modify the design. An annex attached to the contract intends to extend or adapt the contract's terms by including design, co-ordination and construction."
