I should note that I would recommend other terms to avoid confusion.

You should instead say delay/postpone or bring forward/advance (or whatever) because these terms are more to the point. Plus you should always include the new time & date for clarity.

So, let's say it's the meeting is at 1:00:

The meeting is moved to 1:15:
"We delayed the meeting until 1:15."
"We postponed the meeting until 1:15."
The meeting is moved to 12:30:
"We brought the meeting forward to 12:30."
"We advanced the meeting to 12:30."
