If the Trustee determines that the Plan is under funded, or that you have miscalculated your income, or that you have listed expenses that he/she believes should be disallowed, or a combination of these items, yes, he/she can state that payments must increase. It would then be up to you to persuade him/her that he/she is wrong. If a resolution cannot be reached you ask the judge to make a ruling.
