Probably because you don't have enough space. You're not going to win the argument with your phone if it consistently tells you it has insufficient space.
The other option is to update the iPhone through a computer. See Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the Finder
If you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC see Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes
See if anything here helps.
