There's always the weekend when some judge somewhere steps in with some crazy view that will have to be decided before the trial can start.

If it starts on Monday, I expect a mistrial to be declared sometime early in the procedures.
A court can declare a mistrial at any time during a trial if there is misconduct by the defendant, their attorney, or others acting on their behalf.

The lawyers or Trump may be chastised but Trump wants a delay more than anything else so this would be a small thing to pay if it delays the trial until after the election.
