Recently I've discovered something while working in my personal project. This seems to be a common problem everywhere in fact.
There are 2 scenarios:
Person A delegates you a job to do with no specific requirements. You do it as per your own way that you think it's right. After submission, person A gave a list of wrongdoings of what you should not have done and ask you to re-do. My question is.. what is the definition of the delegation? Does it include trust and belief of capability? Or is it about doing it that originator's way? What about listening to our opinions? Or it doesn't matter at all? So we are just robot listening to instructions? So they need a robot, not us.
Person B tells you to decide base on your own opinion and start work on it. So you did as per told. Person B starts to question on your work. Then where is my opinion?
Generally I think many of these situations derived from the belief of your capability and entrusting the work. If you don't believe in that person, then don't let him/her do it.
Before you start questioning (as in when you distrust), the question in your mind should be... do you need a robot do-er or do you need a thinker? This will simply differentiate your attitude. Else... give DETAIL INSTRUCTIONS for your TEMPORARY WORKER.
