This is one of the situations where the ideal is in pretty easy reach. 5 minute conversation when handing out tickets. "Hey [insert employee number here] - how are you thinking about doing this ticket?". Or check in with them during standup.

That one question and a few minutes will both save hours of time and get better quality work. Letting the dev put time into work that gets redesigned in the PR is questionable management. Not the end of the world if it happens every so often but it suggests a lack of context in the job. If there is time to redesign during the PR there was time to think through what was acceptable quality before the work started.
