There are factors:
1 - Like poor Wifi connection
2 - Slow wifi connection
3 - Too many other people downloading at the same time and Apple Severs are overloaded
4 - Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software
5 - Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses and may corrupt the download
6 - If via wifi too many Other devices using the wifi at the same time reducing the Bandwidth to your computer.

I have the same problem, trying to update my MacBook Air with Monterey 12.0.1 to 12.1.
How big is this update? It thinks it's downloading 2.83 GB. I tried a couple of times and once 2.83 GB may have been very slowly downloaded, but that was all, nothing else happened and it sat there. Overnight.
I have restarted. Shut down. Any other ideas? I'm tempted to reinstall but I'm kinda afraid to.
I have restarted many times...It is not working!
I have the same problem. My Mac is stuck at the same place for two days now. Restarting & turn down and in did not help.
