This could be caused by the drywall being damp. But you also shouldn't have any spackling compound there, - it should be drywall mud.

Installing Drywall Over An Acoustic Ceiling?
If you are here reading this, chances are you are wanting to get rid of that old out dated look of your ceiling. Acoustic ceiling is also known as popcorn texture ceiling. If your home is older, scraping may not be an option since the ceiling could contain asbestos. So here is a guide to covering that old popcorn texture ceiling with drywall. Step 1. You will need a stud finder to find the ceiling joist. As you find each one, make sure you mark a tiny place on the wall so you know where it is. Step 2. Purchase up to a half inch thick drywall and enough to cover the are you are remodeling. Step 3. This is where you need help. Either find someone to help you hold the drywall up or rent a drywall jack. Be sure to stagger seams so you can avoid butting in all corners. The result of that could be cracking later on. Step 4. It is best to use drywall screws instead of nails. The reason for this is that screws provide better gripping and you need better gripping since it is going through 2 sheets of drywall. With the jack in place or even a person, start securing the drywall to the ceiling. Step 5. Now it is time to use some compound. With your drywall knife, put a good amount of compound along the seam and then remove the excess. Work on one seam at a time so the compound doesn’t start setting before you apply the tape. Step 6. Fold a strip of tape length wise and place it in the corner of the wall. Then apply a good amount of compound over the tape. Then wait for it to dry. Step 7. Before you can apply another layer of compound, you need to scrape off the excess. Once that is done then apply the next layer of compound. If you apply to much compound, you will have to sand it down. Then wait for the compound to dry. Step 8. Make sure you have good lighting in the room you are working in. That way you can see all the imperfections left behind. Now you can apply the last layer of compound. Once it is dry, you can sand down the spots that need it.
