'At no time whatsoever' means 'never'. We could use the phrase as follows:

'At no time whatsoever can we make changes'. However, this would mean that we are quite inflexible, i.e. the opposite of the original statement.

'No/not ... whatsoever' means 'no/not ... at all'. 'Whatsoever' is used for added emphasis in negative phrases.
