First download the latest Mojave installer. The solution requires a Mojave Installer USB disk. However, if a Mac was shipped with Catalina pre-installed, it will boot to Catalina Internet Recovery, regardless of whether the Mac can boot to Mojave or not. This used to boot to a Mojave (more specfically, the system the Mac shipped with) recovery system, and then you can wipe and re-install Mojave. So far, the recommendation has been to boot to Internet Recovery with the shift-command-R key combination at boot. Apple is likely not very motivated to fix this. The reason seems to be that the Mojave Installer application chokes on some aspect of Catalina APFS. Attempts to run the Mojave installer from a Catalina Recovery (local or Internet) will also fail.

Usually a Mac requires at least the version of macOS that the model shipped with when it was introduced.
