I had a hard time picking between concurrent and delegated.

Concurrent jurisdiction in the United States can also exist between different levels of state courts, and between courts and other government agencies with judicial powers. So you see, it could be argued concurrent applies here.

BUT my final answer is delegated due to the eminent domain argument.

Deciding which powers to delegate is one of the most important decisions citizens of a representative democracy make. Unfortunately, almost any delegated power that can enhance social welfare can also decrease social welfare; i.e., be “misused.” The recent controversy over government spying on American citizens is a case in point: The right to eavesdrop may help prevent terrorist attacks, but also enables the government to infringe on the privacy of law-abiding citizens. The list of potentially useful but potentially misused powers is lengthy: taxation, regulation, the military draft, searches of private residences, seizure of property, arbitrary arrest, and so forth.
