How do we make it tamattu' when we have already declared the Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Sahih, in the Book of Hajj, in the chapter on tamattu', qiran, and ifrad in Hajj: Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, and Abu Shihab narrated to us, saying: I arrived in Makkah for 'Umrah as a mutamatti'. We entered three days before the Day of Tawriyah. Some people from Makkah said to me: "Your Hajj will now be a Maki Hajj." So I went to Ata' to seek his legal opinion. He said: Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated to me:
I performed Hajj with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day when he drove camels with him. The people had assumed Ihram for Hajj-al-Ifrad. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to finish their Ihram after Tawaf round the Ka`ba, and between Safa and Marwa and to cut short their hair and then to stay there (in Mecca) as non-Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul-Hijja) when they would assume Ihram for Hajj and they were ordered to make the Ihram with which they had come as for `Umra only. They asked, 'How can we make it `Umra (Tamattu`) as we have intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Do what I have ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have done the same, but I cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).' So, they did (what he ordered them to do). أنه حج مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم ساق البدن معه وقد أهلوا بالحج مفردا فقال لهم : أحلوا من إحرامكم بطواف البيت وبين الصفا والمروة وقصروا ثم أقيموا حلالاً حتى إذا كان يوم التروية فأهلوا بالحج واجعلوا التي قدمتم بها متعةً فقالوا : كيف نجعلها متعةً وقد سمينا الحج ؟ فقال : افعلوا ما أمرتكم فلولا أني سقت الهدي لفعلت مثل الذي أمرتكم ولكن لا يحل مني حرام حتى يبلغ الهدي محله ففعلوا
