PRJ: Project Lag Uses Base Calendar Instead of Resource Calendar
This article was previously published under Q159773
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:
- On the View menu, click More Views.
- Select Delay Gantt and click Apply.
- Type a number in the Delay field.
NOTE: The Delay field is always calculated in elapsed
days.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
