Each developmental: domain has a range of ages at which typically-developing infants & toddlers reach expected milestones. Screening for these is on firstsigns.org. Not attaining a milestone by the age at which 90% of children do so is a delay. The trajectory of development over time is more important than reaching a milestone at a single point in time. Developmental surveillance is, therefore,recommended by the AAP.
