Can a wizard delay learning new spells from leveling up, and instead learn different spells later?



For example, can a 2nd-level wizard choose to skip adding two new spells to their spellbook from leveling up, and instead add four 2nd-level spells when they reach 3rd level?

    Hi Ara, it is worth saying that as a DM I would allow this, because the new spells represent you learning, and everyone can learn at their own pace. If you want to convince your DM to allow you to do this (Assuming the answer ends up as no) it might be worth asking a question on the balance implications of allowing such a rule.

Spells are learned upon level up



From the wizard class features:




Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher



Each time you gain a wizard level, you can add two wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook for free.




So if you want these free spells, they must be chosen when leveling up. You can't wait for the next level up to add four spells instead. You can choose not to add spells when leveling up (the wording does say "you can add") but this does not grant you any benefit.
