Hi,
Maybe someone in the area fancies a fact-finding mission ;)
Some of it actually shows up in the Charlotte county GIS system[1]
(the stuff south of Lake Timber), and constructiononthe round-a-bout
is visible on other *cough*Google[2]*cough* satellite imagery (just
below Lake Babcock). Construction on the now deleted roads to the
left of Lake Babcock is also visible (as of Feb imagery).
Most likely it's not vandalism or somebody using OSM for urban fantasy
but some very early county GIS or planning data that was uploaded. It
likely should have been tagged at least as "proposed," though. Some
of it is at least a solid "construction" now.
The imagery availble in JOSM via Bing looks pixel-for-pixel identical
to imagery available elsewhere from 2010.

This area is being actively developed and is basically a new town, so
there is and will be a lot of new construction that is seeming popping
out of nowhere. The mapper probably put in a mix of built, under
construction and proposed roads. When built out, it will cover 18,000
acres with an estimated population of 50,000 by 2050 [1].
The new Digital Globe Standard imagery shows some of the new
development. I haven't take a look yet, but the latest Sentinel 2
satellite imagery may provide a clear enough look as well for major road
construction and land clearing. Its being made available pretty quickly
these days - last clear image of that area is 5/9/2017. [2]
Also the mapper in question is a very active and detail oriented mapper
focusing on the Fort Myers area.
