National Grid Plc $NG. (+1.26%) announces a capital increase of 7 billion pounds and a five-year investment plan. The share price falls by double digits.

This stock is actually on my watch list, but I haven't bought it yet due to upcoming investments for the expansion of the electricity grid. When do you think would be a good time to buy?

If you are seriously thinking of adding the stock to your portfolio, I would actually get in now with a first tranche. Then expand the position depending on the price performance.
If you have an affinity for risk, you can also bag the full position now. Personally, however, I simply feel more comfortable buying in tranches, even if I might lose a few percent in performance. 😃

Presumably: Time of investment + X

If ROE & ROIC show that the company has made good investments in the past, then you just have to think about when these investments will bear the first fruits. Until then, you should probably make your own investment.
