If the token mint is ahead or behind schedule, the venture can set the distribution date to start immediately when they deposit the sale tokens into the smart contract. This can only be set when setting depositing the token, and only if the token did not exist when creating the sale.
Token Lock
Once the schedule starts, the tokens will be locked in the sale contract for the locking period. No tokens will be claimable during this period.
This is often done to protect the token price from dumping
