Absolutely delegation should still mean being involved in the process and being receptive to course correction from the people carrying out the work. This is how things should work. Ideally. In practice I've seen it go the opposite way where management's reaction is trust less and less, making smaller and smaller tasks. Developers aren't innocent either, instead of griping about having less control, they throw up their hands and work-to-rule. Doesn't matter if the task description has obvious problems, that's what is getting implemented. Nothing less and nothing more. Honestly this all comes off as toxic. Maybe it's high time to leave where I am seeing this all go on.
