What superior developpement did you get exactly? You developped your bishop, but moved it again 2 turns later, and then again. You gave the e4 pawn without really any compensation. The general rule is that the value of a pawn = three tempi, but of course, the e4 pawn, is quite more important, than say, the a2 one. It really was a blunder, also with your doubled pawns on the c file, your pawn structure in the middle becomes very weak. Black afterwards just played very passively and, in all respect, quite badly. If he had played soundly (8. ...Nf6 9. ...0-0, for example) he had a much better game.
