The agent only scan starts downloading after the deployment is made 'available', whether now or future time. At this point, it can be installed manually and force the install at deadline schedule.
FYI. Don't set the available schedule if you have thousands of endpoints, it may overload you servers because all the client are going to hit the server at the same time. When you use available now or default, clients start scan and download next pol check which is more random. Cesar A. Meaning is NOT in words, but inside people!
