Incorrect spelling, explanation: developped is a mistaken form because in the core verb develop the second syllable is stressed, not last. If the last syllable was stressed we would double the last consonant, but here, in developed, that’s not the case. Therefore developed is the correct form.
Correct spelling, explanation: this word is a regular past form of the verb develop. Due to the rule, that in the case of consonant-vowel-consonant ending, adding a suffix doubles the last consonant, we would normally double p here, however, the final decision lays in the accent, which here comes on the second syllable, not the last one. Therefore p is not doubled and developed is the correct form, not developped.
