Although you can set a custom time to get back your changes. You can also select the already mentioned date if you think you have deleted a contact within that time. 

Let’s say, you’ve deleted a contact last week, you’ll need to select a custom date. Once you select the time, Google will help you to recover all your deleted contact within the selected time automatically.

Since Google uses synchronization technology to store your data, you can see the change on your mobile phone after clicking on the undo button. 

All you need to do is simply open the Google Contact app or the default calling app to see the deleted contact.
