That what
They always request that what they need be delivered to them on such short notice.
I found this in a TOIEC practice test booklet and it seems odd to me... Is the use of "that what" here correct?
Thank you

Yes, because "that what" is not a phrase by itself. The words come together by accident. Replace "what they need" with another word and you will see: They always request that pizza be delivered to them on such short notice .
