Potential fix

Downgrade dependencies to

k8s.io/api v0.26.4
k8s.io/apimachinery v0.26.4
k8s.io/client-go v0.26.4

Start by running make run and inspect the Makefile target around line 110, then check the Kubernetes dependency versions in the project configuration against controller-runtime v0.14.6. Done means the reported HasSynced type errors are resolved and go fmt ./..., go vet ./..., and the operator build/run complete successfully.
