Most likely a slot time which has moved forward.

When a slot is assigned and the aircraft is ready before the time a message can be sent to CFMU telling the computer the aircraft is ready. This also contains the time needed for ATC to get the aircraft airborne. If the computers can see that there is an earlier slot available which ATC can get the aicraft airborne for then the aircraft will get a new slot and can depart earlier.
