Thank you! So content moderators, administrators, and bureaucrats can protect pages. When you protect a page, the expirary date for the protection is set to infinity by default, I assume that the option just doesn't get changed when someone goes to protect the page.

This article should help explain it, https://community.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Page_protection.
