Sorry for being a bit late, work piled up a bit last week.

I have had a look, and think we might have something that will work.
First thing is to remove the summary task links. This maintains task relationships, and summary's can get confusing. a link between tasks is a "real" link- x follows y- a link between summary's is slightly different.

Looking at the constraints- you have the pick up date as "no earlier than" which is fine. I have linked this as predecessor of all phase 2 tasks, which keeps them in line. Phase 3 follows from 2, so they will automatically line up.

Phase 1 did make me think. Setting "as late as possible" was pushing phase 2 out, as this forces everything after it out as far as possible so destroys the phase 2 link. If we link the phase 1 activities to the Pick up date, and then set "as late as possible", it works again as the pick up date is the restraint. I have included this as the first solution.

SUMMARY
Removed the summary links, replace with task links
Phase 1 tasks linked so that Pick Up date is a successor to them, then set phase 1 tasks "as late as possible" (note that you only actually need to change the first task, anything following will be pushed back)

Thats about it.

The one thing that does occur is that the phase 3 dates change, I dont know if this is what you wanted but it does link them correctly. See how it goes, can always change it around again.

Oh- the board now allows mpp files to be uploaded, so no need to zip any more.
