Discover LudwigThe phrase "at a time did" is not correct and does not form a coherent expression in written English.
It may be intended to convey a specific meaning, but as it stands, it lacks clarity and proper grammatical structure.
Example: "At a time did I think this was the right choice?" (though this is awkward and not standard).
Alternatives: "at one time" or "at a certain time."
