It's tough doing this type of patch and make it perfect. The only way to fix it is to add a texture or recoat again with drywall mud, repaint and hope this doesn't happen again. You could try adding a little drywall mud to some primer; roll this on the patched area using a good back-rolling technique. This could blend it better but it might still show up.
I would put another coat or two of compound on the taped areas and make sure the compound is 1/2in. over the taped area on both sides, this allows the compound to be sanded down thin on the edges to have it blend into the wall. Then I would use a drywall primer (PVA) instead of a wall primer. I hope this helps
After doing the joints I would skim coat the whole wall and right over the area you finished. This takes out the weird texture out of the old paint that's on the wall. I mean skim coat. Not heavy with the mud. Put on and take it off.
