Because it doesn't matter at what time the changes will be made.

'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. |

Hi,
I understand what you mean that It doesn't matter at what time. but why can't we use "some". It also can means " if we were able we would make changes". beside that what exactly quite means? does it make the adjective more or less extreme? |

Hi,
I don't know why this sentence is in negative phrases (because the word "any"?).
thanks. |

Hi Wly, the main part of the sentence is positively phrased.
Only 'don't worry' is in the negative.
Don't worry / we are quite flexible and can make changes at any time whatsoever.
negative / positive
