Is the development actually lost or is it just the tooltip not being accurate?

there Is no losses. You can check when concentrating Chinese lands with the reform vs without.
It's actually lost. I specifically had a look at it after reading that
Concentrate development was reworked; it now converts one third of the development into monarch power, and then uses a percentage of that monarch power to increase development in your capital. If the amount of monarch power generated is not enough, there will be losses. All the mandala system does, is change the percentage of MP used to 100%.

Sounds like it's just a generic statement used for it, rauer than saying there xll actually be losses.
It also converts the dev into monarch points and uses those to buy dev in the capital, given that dev in the capital will probably be more expensive than the provinces you're concentrating, you'll lose some development anyway, you do get the full benefit of the monarch poing conversion though.

The "loss" in both statements refers to different losses. Iferius explained it well - the "no loss" in mandala reform means that the original development is converted at 100% efficiency (to virtual mana), but there is still an actual loss (as in less development is received in capital than taken from the province), because the amount of virtual mana is not enough to buy as much dev in capital as it took from the original province.

Irritatingly, while you get less development when your capital costs more to develop than the provinces you are concentrating, you DO NOT get more dev when your capital is cheaper to develop than the provinces you are concentrating. There is an upper bound of only gaining 1 dev in your capital per development lost.

Thank you for explaining this guys! Really appreciate your help. I would never have thought of any of it this way. Might have to reread through the old dev-diaries
It'd probably be easy to engineer a free development printing machine if this wasn't the case.
