я бы сказал wouldn't be if was
Эта ситуация не была бы столь критичной, если бы изначально была под контролем
The situation wouldn't have been so critical if it had initially been under control
я бы сказал wouldn't be if was

насчет wouldn't be if was не согласен. это 3rd Conditional в чистом виде (я сегодня как раз это выучил:)

It wouldn't have been an emergency if the situation had initially been under control.
насчет from the start не знаю, ниче не скажу. в Reverso 'initially'
