| Nov 28, 2021 at 18:17 | comment | added | BillJ | Are you clear now that there's no inversion because "the demands collected" and "the collected demands" are not clauses, but noun phrases? | |

| Nov 28, 2021 at 15:04 | comment | added | BillJ | There's no inversion. "The demands collected ..." and "the collected demands" are both noun phrases. In the former, the head noun is "demands", which is post-modified by the past-participial clause "collected from Field team". In the less likely latter alternant, the head noun is again "demands", which this time has the verb "collected" as pre-head modifier. | |
