By the start of the Warring States period, regional leaders in China undertook large local engineering projects, like irrigation systems. Why is this considered evidence that the power of regional governments was growing at the expense of the Zhou central government?

It is evidence that local leaders controlled both the engineering expertise and the tribute labor that the Zhou government had once controlled.
