Per the OP article, Biden had new construction (and I expect under a completely different contract/design) implemented.
But more to the point, the LAW required removal of those materials -
Congress required Biden Administration's sale of border wall materials
Some Republican are upset that the Biden administration is moving unused border wall materials out of the Arizona borderlands.
by Danyelle Khmara
When President Joe Biden took office and temporarily halted wall construction, piles of steel bollards and other materials were left at the border in Arizona.
The National Defense Authorization Act, also known as the NDAA, passed last year required the government to dispose of excess border wall materials by specific deadlines.
A Department of Defense official said that nearly 60% of these materials were transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the states of Texas and California for refurbishing ports of entry or other border security projects.
The remaining 40% was sold to GovPlanet, an online platform for government surplus equipment, under a competitive sales contract that began in June.

But as a "lawyer", you keep going with your supposition.
