The clock is being constructed inside Mecca by non-muslims?
There is supposed to be a death penalty for any non-muslim who enters Mecca or Medina.

That’s true.
BUT, that applies to any muslim country that is run by sharia law.
OTOH, how else would they get it built?
I’m sure someone issued a mecca-time-sensitive fatwa, that superseded the other previous fatwa, that justified the culling of any Kafis in mecca, so they could get their mecca clock ticking before the mecca-sensitive-fatwa expired.
Simple really.
