Does the phrase "were not quite as what has been expected" is correct?

Question

(I meant it is not really as what they've been expecting, they expect more than that)

------------------------------
The mission was successful even though the arrest of personnel of GAM and the identification of the marijuana fields *were not quite as what has been expected*.

Answer 1

Not only is the phrase incorrect, the question inquiring about the phrase is incorrect as well.

You might want to write, "Is the phrase, 'were not quite as what has been expected' correct?"

As for the other, "were not quite what was expected," might be more effective.

Answer 2

The mission did not go as expected, though it led to arrests of GAM personnel and successful identification of the marijuana fields.

The mission did not go as expected, but was successful since it led to arrests of GAM personnel and identification of the marijuana fields.

Despite the fact the mission did not go as expected, it was successful because of the arrests of GAM personnel and identification of the marijuana fields.

Answer 3

It reads very awkward and mixes tenses (past and present.) How about "were not quite as expected." ?
