    There's one duty in which you can't change your gear, it's A Relic Reborn: The Hydra.
    Why is it only that one?

    Because in order to get one of the rewards, you have to have the relic equiped. This prevents you from having soemthing else equipped, and then changing to the relic at the last moment.

    It don't matter anymore as it's a trivial clear, but it mattered THEN.

    It's a problem if you were doing things as another job, swap back to the one you're doing the relic for, and you forgot to equip the relic on that job's gearset and didn't remember to re-equip it, you can't swap it inside.

    Imo you shouldn't be able to switch gear inside a duty, and you should also be forced to queue up for the duty with the exact same gear you had on when you queued up. Did you throw away some of the gear you had equipped earlier? Sorry, penalty for you!
