Not a problem! Move on unless you'd like to start calculating the
relationship between your building expansion and the expansion or
contraction of the sprinkler system. (Note large objects have a tendency to
expand and contract at differing rates, where no allowance for this is made
cracks generally appear in the structure, the arch. is just pre determining
where that crack is to occure.)

Subject: Building expansion joints
Common for larger buildings to have structural expansion joints. Rarely
(actually, never) have I seen an architectural/engineering plan call for
anything special when crossing them (plumbing, HVAC or sprinkler).
Is this something to be concerned about, or should I move on to something
else?
