I assume he is not talking about changing direction so much as:

- "This implementation of the API was trickier than expected, so it will take a couple of days more I think".

- "Ok, maybe I can help you with it instead of starting with the front end then?"

I thought the software world had generally agreed that adding extra people to something that’s running late is rarely the right answer.

That is when you are running late on a project and adding new people. Someone that is already up to speed in the project does not have that limitation.

Adding new person to project and team member knowledgeable about project helping somebody else with a task are two very different things.
