Structural overcapacity is permanent, say having typewriter factories in a time where everybody’s moved on to computers and smart phones. Cyclical overcapacity would be a shorter term overcapacity, say cutting shifts or closing factories making cars when sales fall due to a recession, but that will ramp up again as sales pick up down the road.
