Re: retaining wall waterproofing
If you still haven't completed the building, the best way to waterproof small sites, is to plaster outside like sump walls, after a day, start filling soil back.
If in case, it is an existing building and can't dig out soil, nothing much can be done apart from injection technique. refer link below

Another idea is to provide drain pipe for retaining wall, either back fill or inside. Usually inside is possible in residential areas.
