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.
