So, they stretched the wall out a little further, squared it off to save on construction problems and costs, and are going to let the town grow into the walls.
Let me stress first: it's your map, so you can do anything you want.

I was just curious: if the town is considered poorer than most, how could they afford a city wall that's even designed so that the city can grow?
City walls were *very* expensive and only wealthy towns built them and then only enclosing the core of the town.

It could be that the lords of the town are very wealthy of course or maybe there's a quarry nearby.
