Kagune shaping was introduced from the beginning, just not in a way we are seeing right now. In every series, there are bound to be some minor plotholes in regards to the "powers" of each different series since typically the author does not have his power system fully fleshed out at the beginning and adds more and more ideas further down the line. This can sometimes make you ask "if x character could do y power since the beginning, why didn't he use it during z battle?". The reason is, as I've stated, that the authot didn't think of that particular ability at that point and chose to introduce it later.

Tokyo Ghoul is pretty mild on this small issue, however. A series I can think of that had some troubles with this is Hunter x Hunter, with nen adding more and more advanced techniques further down the line that in theory every user knew since the beginning.
