You can buy Mathworks (that is, the entire company) for a number of billions of dollars, and then order your new employees to produce a version of R2014a that will work with MacOS Catalina.

Short of that:

Give up.

The newest Mac OS release that was supported for R2014a was Maveriks (OS-X 10.9) . Apple made a number of incompatible changes in the time since then. Catalina was even more incompatible than usual.
