The crew of the Covenant arrives at the Engineers' city
DAVID
“Just over ten years ago, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and I arrived here – the only survivors of the research vessel Prometheus. The ship we traveled on, the ship you discovered, carried a bioweapon, a virus. The payload accidentally deployed when we were landing. In the confusion we lost control of the ship. Elizabeth – Dr. Shaw – died in the crash … And you see the result of the pathogen … Their entire civilization came to an end within a few days”.
DANIELS
“Days?”
DAVID
“Four days, to be exact”.
They’ve reached the top of the hill…
A stunning revelation beyond…
For they can now see the towers and streets of a massive CITY. Stark and dramatic mountains frame the DEAD, EMPTY METROPOLIS.
They stare in AWED SILENCE.
DAVID
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and the rider’s name was Death, and Hell followed with him…”
David’s face. Haunted by his memories.
A flash–
Ten years before–
The MASSIVE ENGINEER SHIP ARRIVING, hovering over the CITY …the BOMB DELIVERY BAYS OPEN–

/Image by Matt Hatton: 'It occurred to me that I hadn't posted any female Engineers from Covenant yet. This was actually the second piece I did, right after the Leonardo type dissection. We were investigating going in an anal-retentive Victorian style for the crosshatching but decided it would be prohibitive in terms of the time we had and amount to do. Hence the looser Rembrandt hatching!'/

If this is true, then that means David never experimented with Engineers.
Also, we have to remember that David is telling us this. David is a compulsive liar, so that also has to be considered when reading these statements. I could never trust David. We can only guess as to what he is thinking most of the time in Alien: Covenant.

IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
