From what I could get from your question

1) You want Catalog Task to be created on that date

Example: If date is 10th Jan 2021 so catalog task should be created on that day and your workflow should wait till that time

If yes then you can use Workflow Wait for Timer Activity with Script below

var gdt = new GlideDateTime(current.variables.Scheduled_retrieve_date);

answer = gs.dateDiff(new GlideDateTime(), gdt, true);

Hi,

what date have you selected?

Today is 5th Jan

If you have selected date as 6th/7th Jan then you should check whether catalog task got created on 6th or 7th

Workflow will wait till that date and then it would proceed
