Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.

Answer 1

Remove the platform which you try to run on it (browser, ios, android, and etc.)

For example (run cmd, locate to your project folder and type):

cordova platform rm browser

Add the platform again

cordova platform add browser

You can run

cordova run browser
