Structures like "skulle gjort" and "skulle gjøre"
+2

I have mostly self-learned Norwegian without much emphasis on grammar. Occasionally I see expressions like "skulle gjort", sometimes with "gjort" replaced by another verb. I would expect to see the verb in infinitive (but without "å") after verbs like "må", "kan", "skal", etc., including different tenses of them. Alternatively, I would expect "skulle ha gjort".
Is there a difference between "skulle gjøre" and "skulle gjort"? Or is "skulle gjort" simply a version with omitted "ha"? Does this construction have a name?
