Mid season refers to the CBS schedule...which usually runs mid Jan to sweeps week in early May.
We know CBS will prob keep the Big Brother start of early July intact, so TAR would need to be done by then. Perhaps they wanted a bridge to that?
If Undercover boss has an 8-10 week run then my guess would be April, May, June I suppose...all you ratings experts please jump in?

apskip:
Although I am not a ratings expert, the final 2 episodes of an Amazing Race season are not likely to have an audience different from the prior 9 or 10 legs. I think mid-season will mean a start date sometime in March for AR20 and finish late in June. This is 2 to 6 weeks after the "normal" start date but it still spans the entirety of the May "sweeps" period.

I think TAR20 will still get its normal late-Feb/March-May airing schedule. Possibly 2-hour finale with one Sunday off for the Academy of Country Music Awards.
The Survivor finale could take place on Sunday, May 20 (last Sunday of the traditional season), so TAR's finale would be May 13 and working backwards, TAR could premiere Sunday, March 4th, the week after the Oscars.

I mostly agree with dryedmangoez. It has to begin by March 4 in order for it to finish before the Memorial Day weekend at the end of May. It could begin one week earlier, Feb. 26. Either Sunday conforms to my definition of mid-season, based on the first week in January to the last full week in May. The technical Sunday midpoint of that period is a tie between March 10 and March 17.

It will start the week after the Grammy's. The Grammy's are on Feb. 12th, TAR will start Feb. 19th, you can book it now. They have gone against the Oscars multiple times through the years. If you look at Wiki, this has been the spring premiere date for a while going back through the years.
