The location of "adverbial phrase" in a sentence ?

Please see the following sentence.
" A delay in construction due to adverse weather conditions has put the entire project behind schedule."

I think in usual we put adverbial phrases between a subject and a verb. Isn't it ?
So, I think it should be like this.
A delay in construction has due to adverse weather conditions put the entire project behind schedule."

Don't they have to put it between "has" and "put" in that sentence?
Are both okay ? Couldn't someone tell me about it ?

Thanks in advance.

Only for certain short adverbs. It is not a general rule.

No, your version has made a mess of sentence structure; it is completely unnatural.

Couldn't I ask you one more ? In usual we can put an adverb or an adverbial phrase between "have" and "past participle". For instance,
Ex1) I have recently studied English. Ex2) I have from long time ago learned Chinese.
No ? Can I put only adverbs between have and participle,not adverbial verbs ? Couldn't you explain the reason more ? Thank you in advance.
