I just had this exact same issue and booting in "Safe Mode" fixed the issue. I just went to Apple logo -> System Preferences -> Clicked on "Upgrade" to Catalina and the download resumed from being stuck for almost 48 hours. Thank you Apple Support!!!

Greetings AnasAnuksa,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like there is trouble updating macOS. If there was a timed out error while installing, it could be a macOS issue. Are you able to update or install other apps?
