The only way to do that is by editing your Gnucash data file with a text 
editor. Not recommended unless you are confident, keep backups, etc. Basically 
you close Gnucash, uncompress (gunzip) the data file, and open it in your text 
editor. Look for your scheduled transaction by name (<sx:name>...), and change 
the date in the sx:last tag. Save the file, recompress it with gzip, and 
reopen it in Gnucash.

I've always thought it would be a neat feature to add: Have gnucash reset the 
last triggered date for a scheduled transaction if you change the start date 
(or something like that). No UI changes needed. It would provide a way to fix 
problems like this without affecting much else.
