In Avengers: Endgame, Gamora and War Machine (as well as others)
traveled back in time to get one of the Stones - the Power Stone, on Morag.
Why did they wait for
Quill's arrival? They didn't need him to steal the Stone and neither did the Hawk and Black Widow need to be at that precise time at Vormir.

I believe it is because they were unsure the exact time he would arrive. If he walked in as they were trying to get the stone it would have been dicey... My impression of why they waited was to ensure he would not catch them in the act...

True, but maybe they were worried about someone else being there. Given the information they knew it is possible that another thief or etc. could have visited the stone's location at any point previous to Quill initially showing up. They knew Quill was alone until he retrieved the stone, but not that the stone was always alone...

It's worth noting that the out of universe reason is that those scenes are essentially a greatest hits send off to the previous mcu movies. With that in mind, it wouldn't make sense to go any other time, though it might have made more sense plot wise.

They didn't know precisely how the Stone retrieving would go; this is evidenced by War Machine expecting spears to rise from the ground, à la Indiana Jones, when entering the temple. Nebula might have known a bit more, having spent some time with Quill since GOTG2, but she didn't seem to have much more info either.
What they knew, on the other hand, is that there was a possibility of Peter Quill incoming1. He would not have been expecting to find anyone on the planet, and things could have gone very awry, very fast.
By waiting a bit more and knocking him out, they were ensuring their retrieval of the Power Stone wouldn't be jeopardized.
1Memory says some door was closed, meaning he hadn't entered yet, but I'll have to check that.

Because they don't know exactly where the stone is.
Rhodey states they will wait for Quill to lead them to the Power Stone. This indicates they don't actually know where on Morag it actually is and so waiting saves them searching the whole planet themselves.
Once Quill is knocked out, Nebula takes a tool from him to use to open the crypt/temple/whatever you call the place the stone is being kept, but they needed to see exactly where he was going first in order to be able to intercept.
