Cleft palate
A congenital fissure of the palate affecting the upper lip, hard palate, and soft palate is known as a cleft palate. This condition occurs during fetal development when the tissues forming the roof of the mouth do not fuse together properly. Cleft palate can lead to feeding difficulties, speech problems, and may require surgical intervention to repair.
The pediatrician and clinic are likely explaining to the parent that their newborn son has a cleft palate, which means the palate did not fully fuse during development. The normal palate forms from front to back, but in this case, there is a gap in the palate due to the fusion not occurring properly.

Yes, his pharyngeal arches did not fuse at the right time (ie. at the 12th week of his embryonic life) His cleft palate resembles a primary condition (involving one side of his palate) which only occurs in 1 in 2500 live births in Australia.
A cleft palate results from incomplete development of the roof of the mouth (palate) during early pregnancy, when the tissue doesn't fuse together properly. This can result in a gap in the roof of the mouth that may affect feeding, speech, and dental health.
When a person is developing in the uterus, the palate (roof of the mouth) doesn't fuse together as it should. The lip is often not fused either. The surgery to fix this is not complex. See the link below for images:
