David, it looks like you have a lot going on there between the project and client expecations. I think I followed the gest of the situation (I don’t understand why but that’s not a concern), but will give you more of a general answer. Generally, the best solution is the one that best matches the need. So, modify the affected tasks to match the requirements. In the long run that will best help track the project and provide the best update for your client. If the client is asking you to do something that overrides” reality then make sure you document the change and why it is scheduled that way. Hope that helps…
