Here are three possibilities I can think of:

1) Sleeve stretched lengthwise while the sleeve was hanging or was
sewn. If the fabric is stretchier and heavier than you have used
before, it could be stretching from its own weight, if so, staying the
seam with lightweight elastic might help.

2) Fabric may have been partially stretched while being cut,
resulting in a shorter sleeve cap.

3) Left sleeve in right armhole?

Seeing more pictures will help.
