Cost Effective Mechanical Lap Splice?

I'm working on a project where the contractor has installed too short of a dowel coming out of a footing for a retaining wall. I've considered excess reinforcement, but the required lap is still more than what I have.

 

What is the most cost effective lap splice?

 

Thanks,
