I applied for a position in late September and had a phone interview with a recruiter in October. Then silence. But last week, a different manager reached out for a phone screen, but it’s for a totally different role. It went well, and they're moving me forward in the interview process. I can't help but wonder, is it common for companies to swap roles on you like this?

What EY1 said. It isn't uncommon. I have seen it happen several times. In this job market though, be glad they called at all. It is rough out there.

Things like that will happen. It's possible they filled the role you initially were talking about, but saw something else where you might fit. That's a generally positive sign. Of course, in today's job market, anything that doesn't involved being ghosted is a good sign.

They may have identified someone else for the other role but still interested in you. Not uncommon at all

Any advice on how to get clients to pay your invoice on time / what to do when they don't? I'm currently working with an agency who agreed to net 30 terms, but has been late with every invoice so far...It's probably a lost cause on this particular job, but Im wondering if there's anything I can do in the future to avoid this situation. Does anyone charge a fee when invoices aren't paid on time? Or is this just par for the freelance life?
