SYMPTOMS

When you specify lag time to delay a task, the task may appear to be incorrectly scheduled.

This behavior may occur when a resource assigned to a task has a different calendar than the base calendar. At this point, the portion of the task where the lag is scheduled is scheduled using the Base Calendar.

Microsoft Project uses the Base Calendar to schedule lag to avoid any potential conflicts when scheduling multiple resources.

MORE INFORMATION

Instead of using a lag to extend the date of the task, do the following to apply a delay:
  1. On the View menu, click More Views.
  2. Select Delay Gantt and click Apply.
  3. Type a number in the Delay field.

    NOTE: The Delay field is always calculated in elapsed days.
