This is what state locking accomplishes, by preventing other users from modifying the state file while a Terraform operation is in progress. This prevents conflicts and data loss.

The execution plan for terraform apply will not be the same as the one you ran locally with terraform plan, if your teammate manually modified the infrastructure component you are working on. This is because Terraform will refresh the state file before applying any changes, and will detect any differences between the state and the real resources.

This will enable additional logging messages to find out from which paths Terraform is loading providers referenced in your Terraform configuration files, as it will set the log level to TRACE, which is the most verbose and detailed level.
