For whatever reason PlayStation requires twice the size of the total Title. It verifies the content of the entire Title plus all prior updates and DLC, and then checks the volume. It wants enough capacity on hand to re-download the entire title again if it decides that it wants to.

I've referenced this in the past, it has become a handy link (specific to PlayStation I do believe)

"Destiny Update Recap: Earlier this week, Destiny underwent a small scheduled update. No changes were made to the player-facing Destiny experience. Once an Update has been released, Destiny Player Support monitors the #Help forum to ensure players are proceeding through the download process as expected. With this recent update, we saw an increase in reports of players having to re-download large portions of Destiny content, which equated to longer-than-expected console downloads. This is the result of a console attempting to verify all previously downloaded content. This includes the base game and all Destiny Updates/Hotfixes. If any issues are found, or the verification process is interrupted, all previous content will be deleted and downloaded again. To ensure that players do not encounter this often, we highly recommend using a wired connection when downloading Destiny Updates or Hotfixes. Additionally, if a player is experiencing network issues during the download process, this may lead to some content being lost or damaged. For more information, please see our Updating Destiny Guide."
