How to ask a question?

I have difficulties with changing this sentence to a question ( this should is misleading for me )
"This application should have been furnished two days ago"
and I have to ask When?
So
When should have this applciation been furnished?

AnonymousThis application should have been furnished ... + When?
The subject and the first verb of the verb phrase are underlined above. These are the elements which must be inverted when you form a question.

When should this application have been furnished?

Actually, yes. I actually overlooked that. CalifJim's version is better.

OK, CJ. Perhaps I should have said that the original, which Xerxes said was fine, was not correct.

Apologies for my brusqueness, Xerxes.
