The p0014 code is for the camshaft variable valve timing (VVT) function. The ecm is commanding the camshaft to change its timing (phase angle) w/respect to the crankshaft, but that timing change isn’t occurring as expected for some reason. Generally the most common reason for VVT malfunctions reported here is deferred maintenance, not following the manufacturer’s oil and filter change intervals. Unlike prior engine designs from the 90’s and before, VVT engines are very finicky about oil.
