Contractor installed this convoluted p-trap + elbow for the washer, and I'm not sure if it's up to code. Can you confirm and more importantly explain why or why not it's compliant?

I'm no plumber, but I've done a lot of DIY around the house. I wouldn't be concerned with the ptrap, probably. I'd be concerned with brand new plumbing with nonstandard adapters hanging over a bunch of exposed electrical.

Holy shit, I didn't even notice the multiple abominations with electrical connections in that picture, I was mesmerized by the plumbing madness.
