Client is trying to minimize US taxation, but doesn't qualify both tests, been in that country for only 217 consecutives days, so if form 2555 doesn't help, where do I report the taxes he paid in the foreign country? How can I reduce the taxes for that foreign income?
File the 2019 return when he has hit 330 days in the foreign country. He'll get a prorated foreign income exclusion for 2019, provided he meets the other requirements (tax home?)
He is planning to stay a total of two years, so yes he will work 2020 in that country. He is a US legal Resident, so he's got a permit of two years to work abroad

My client began getting foreign earned income on June 18, 2022, do I have to file for an extension throu June 2023 in order to qualify for the foreign Earn Income exclusion?

Yes, you can't file a tax return claiming the Physical Presence Test until they have actually met that 330-day test (so they may qualify in May).
