    The Early Place feature has been removed from Quartus version 20.1 onward as it is of little value to most users so I don't really recommend to use it.


    Early Place :

    Begins assigning core design logic to device resources. After this stage, the Chip

    Planner can display initial high-level placement of design elements. Use this

    information to guide your floorplanning decisions.


    Start Fitter (Place) :

    Completes assignment of core design logic placement to device resources


    Reference:

    p/s: If any answer from the community or Intel Support are helpful, please feel free to give best answer or rate 9/10 survey.
