I see it like this, Covenant Ninth Age Of Raclamation (or whatever it was) = Human Middle Ages
Explanation: Humans: Big religous leader lead the world with an iron fist, everything that is said against him and the religion is equal to death
Covenant: Big religous leaders lead the covenant with iron fists, Everything that is said against them and their religion is equal to death
Let's say that all races in the universe go through this "evolution". Humans have passed that stage a long time ago, while the covenant still is in that stage. So are the Prophets and elites only new born races? The answer why they are further than humans in technology is becasue they use forerunner technology.
Let's see it this way too. Covenant don't use tactics, only simple ones that are easily countered, while humans have complicated tactics that needs some thinking before countering. In the middle ages wasn't it " decide town to attack, run in there, kill, and die trying to take it" similar to the covenant "tactics"
As the Covenant uses forerunner technology they don't really develop new stuff and don't know how to use it properly. Humans have developed their own technology so they understand it better and how to use it to get out the maximum.
Several other things too.
