Default 36 days task at 40% effort - only "0.86 days" in resource

Hi,



I've got a set of tasks in project and I'm using the resource view to see the efforts so I can do the costing.

My manual calculations came out higher, I looked into the difference and I found at least one Task that hasn't been calculated properly.

The Task shows 36 days duration, with 40% effort for "bob bobson" - but only "0.86 days" in resource view. For another employee "John Johnson" with a 20% effort against the same task it shows the expected 7.2 days!

Bob bobsons other tasks seem to calculate appropriately, he has a 0.5 day 100% effort coming up as 0.5 days of resource.

What on earth could be causing it to pick out a specific resource and task and somehow work it out differently? I have no idea where the 0.86 days is coming from.

I'd also expect it to be spread out across the task duration (as it is for John Johnson) but it's confusingly split over two days in the middle of the 36 day window!

Has anyone come across this before?
