"barely" means a little, only just a bit.
barely started = just started, only just the very beginnings of starting
before it was more than barely = after started, but only a little after.
.
so a beautifully figuratively way of saying just a litle into the day

More than barely begun means it just started. But the first sentence really doesn't make sense.
