I have a task that is supposed to start in 2019. The duration is 6 weeks and the Planned Start/Finish make sense. However, the Projected Start/Finish are the same date, so essentially a 0 day duration. See my screen shot from the task details. Any ideas on what happened or where I can look to fix it? Therese
Hi Here are some thoughts Always select project actions, recalculate timeline when dates don't look right. Projected dates are calculus based on, essentially , burn rate. The planned hours are zero. There is nothing to burn so the work should start and do on the same day I would add some planned hours just to see if the projected dates push out. Hope that helps somewhat .

Hmmm, have you checked the task constraints? If it's set to fixed dates or must start on/must finish on, it will override the task duration. Check to make sure the constraint is "as soon as possible". Edit: Just noticed the task constraint in your screenshot. So I'm no help! Sorry! Winfield Dean Intercontinental Hotels Group PLC
The Projected Start is a week later than the Planned Start, which suggests interaction with another task.
Is a predecessor or a child task pushing it out?
Has someone committed to work on it?
Like Eric, I wonder if the the 0 Projected Duration is due to 0 Planned Hours.
Just some quick thoughts. ~Jeff Jeff Rieth Fujifilm Medical Systems
