If they can fit in words like “Spring”, “NET”, and “Undock”, then I’m sure they could’ve fit in “Early”.I expect the schedule to change. You’re probably right in what they meant, but I tend to go with the dates that NASA provides rather than use my own interpretation.

There is no launch this year in this schedule.
This date may be very dependent on the CFT schedule.
