When I was working, we did our budgeting for the next year in July/August. We re-forecasted any existing capital projects for the current year and new ones for the next year. Not sure what industry you're in but in IT we'd have our projects hopefully submitted and approved by now so we'd know if we'd be able to hire project resources for 2021. If there is still a lot of spend remaining in this year's capital projects, we'd try to burn through that ASAP, including bring in contractors on this year to start doing some work, even though the official project may not start until 2021.
I'm strictly talking about contractor resources. Can't talk too much on employee hiring as the company I was with has been downsizing in what seems like forever.
