grammar - "...time to for what he wants to do..."



I came into this sentence while reading a newspaper.

Although I think it's a simple mistake overlooked by the writer,
I'd like to have a confirmation by a native speaker.



"The prince, who five years ago proposed a retirement age for
emperors, said he hoped his father would have time to for what
he wants to do, such as research of gobioid fish and music."



Have a good day


Answer






Typographical error.





Acceptable forms. This compound is the English way of expressing motion in a direction.



e.g.



[...] onto the platform

[...] into the bag
