Turnarounds are planned years in advance. You don't just decide to shut down for maintenance and you can't shift the shutdown dates easily once planned.

Some places do move turnarounds up or back by as much as 6 months. It just depends on planning, materials and manpower. Pushing back is more common though.

Also, even small jobs are in the works for over a year, usually.
