It is still a delay of energy which would force new leaves or a cone. You don't have to have major trama to have this. Sometimes it is when you don't water it enough, or if the roots are doing what they should be doing. Sometimes an unexpected drop in temperatures in early spring will do that. This type of minor growth changes sometimes will just happen and you can't explain it. Sometimes cycads are just weird, now there is an intellegent answer huh?
