How will this hinder his development?  Specifically?

Being in a game and seeing the different defenses (specifically Colts and Titans) as well as the different looks that each coordinator will bring. Seeing how to call out different blitz pickups while the game is being called. It's one thing to call out the blitz pickup in a meeting room and it's another to do it during a live game.

Not to mention, figuring out if Minshew has the goods for almost a full season will go a long way to figuring out if the's the future. Worst case scenario here is that Foles falters down the stretch. They start next season with Minshew and it turns out he was just a flash in a pan. That's 2 straight poop seasons of QB play while passing up QB prospects in the draft.

He's already got tape seeing defenses well and seeing them poorly.
Picking up blitzes well, and leaving guys unabated.
He can grow in the meeting room on that now. He's not going to magically click on the field with it under fire. 

They have plenty of time to evaluate Minshew and they got more tape of good and bad than they ever thought they'd have for him to this point.  The fact that they even know he might be the future  and not just a backup right now is huge already.  
They aren't losing out on anything by him sitting now IMO.  I just don't see any downside unless Foles comes in and stinks up the place.
