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.

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

If the only way to do this sort of communication is to force it out through a stand-up surely something is very wrong?
