Follow the sequence for resetting the Mac App Store — sign out of the App Store, reboot, sign in with your Apple ID, and either resume the download or request the download again — or the longer version — sign out, move any existing Yosemite installer app to the trash, reboot through Safe mode, and try again — and then install Yosemite from there. If you have another Mac available, it can be preferable to create an installer on a USB device and boot that, as that allows you to see the progress of the Yosemite installer download that's the core part of creating the bootable USB device; that download is something that's not as visible with Internet recovery or such.
