می‌توانستهThis is an interesting verb tense. A simple past توانست [tawʌnɛst] (spoken [tʌnɛst])
is not possible here. می‌توانست [metawʌnɛst] would refer to a single opportunity that
was lost. This word means that there could have been multiple opportunities, which
were passed up. One native speaker also has the sense that می‌توانسته is more emphatic.
It's possible that there is grammar specific to this verb.
