Your iPhone appears to have a very poor WiFi Network connection and that could be the reason why your iPhone is unable to check for the update. Turn OFF WiFi and check using the Cellular Network. See if that shows the update for iOS 14.

NOTE that you WILL REQUIRE a solid WiFi Network to download and install the iOS update. A cellular network can be used to check for updates but NOT to download the update.
