Is there any protocol or detailed guidance for when (What date) the president should give his annual State of the Union address?

Actually, the State of the Union Adress has occurred in January (except for six occasions in February) since 1934. Prior to 1934 the annual message was delivered at the end of the calendar year, in December.
The ratification of Amendment XX on January 23, 1933 changed the opening of Congress from early March to early January, affecting the delivery of the annual message. Since 1934, the message or address has been delivered to Congress in January or February.
Today, the speech is typically delivered on the last Tuesday in January, although there is no such provision written in law, and it varies from year to year.

The date of the State of the Union address is always fixed every year.
