not at least

>This is not at least due to increased administrative constraints.

So, is this not due to administrative constraint?

Is there a difference between "not at least" and "at least not"?

Anonymous This is not at least due to increased administrative constraints. This is difficult to interpret. It seems to me that the writer intended to write At least this is not due to increased administrative constraints.

Thank you so much!

So in this case it can have completely opposite meanings.
Your examples were very helpful.
It is really interesting how a little difference makes such a big difference.

Maybe not exactly opposite but at least very different.
