You can say, "It takes less that 20 minutes" or You can say, "It does not take even 20 minutes" or "It takes not even 20 minutes". The double negative must be avoided in English, although it is colloquial in many places, it is considered uneducated use. "It doesn't take not even 20 minutes"...that is frowned upon.

The correct translation is: It doesn't even take 20 minutes. You can say: It takes less THAN 20 minutes.
