Can a non jira project admin user add to the list of field values in a custom field.
No. Only administrators can amend the lists of options in custom fields.
What do you mean with non jira project admins? In JIRA you have JIRA System Administrators, JIRA Administrators (using Global Permissions) and Project Admins (using Administer Project permission in Project Permission).
Have a look at Project Specific Select Field. It is a drop down custom field, where the project admin can config the option values.

Before you proceed same as above, you should learn below discussion I faced working for the same you asked.

Only jira administrators can amend the lists of options in custom fields.
Yes, that's what all our answers said.
If you want to close this question, accept one of our answers (preferably the one you've just repeated)
can we do it programatically. I mean can we write a event listener plug-in that add an option to custom field?
do we know a way to edit custom field options using jira plug-in(ofcourse without server down)?
Hi,
although this question is already answered, Customfield Editor add-on helps you to resolve this. You can define which custom fields and who can edit the values. It also offers their own REST API and fields can be updated by scripts (used by our internal systems integrated with Jira).
