How does the contrast ba'zi ... ba'zi digar work here?
It translates to 'some ... others'. Notice the first part uses ba'zi az (some of) because it introduces a specific noun phrase (in gozine-ha, these options). The second part, ba'zi digar (others), stands alone as a pronoun, so it drops the az (of).
Could I say ba'zi-ha instead of ba'zi digar for the second part?
You could say ba'zi-haye digar, but ba'zi digar is the standard, slightly more formal way to express 'others' when contrasting two groups. Just saying ba'zi-ha means 'some people' or 'some things' in general, missing the direct contrast of 'others'.
Why is the object marker ra used after vaqt? Doesn't ra usually mark specific nouns?
Yes, ra marks specific direct objects. Even though time sounds general in English ('waste time'), in this Farsi structure, vaqt is treated as a specific, known concept being actively wasted by these options, so it takes ra.
How does the verb hadar mi-dahand work?
It comes from the compound verb hadar dadan (to waste). hadar means 'waste' or 'ruin', and dadan is 'to give'. Since the subject is the plural options, the 'give' part is conjugated in the present tense for 'they': mi-dahand.
