I have found the solution and I will share it incase anyone else faces the same problem.
The problem was in the conversion factors, the planner who had made the program in P6 V8.3 had changed the conversion factors by CALENDAR which is a new feature V7.0+ that I didnt know about. So when I checked his global conversion factors on his P6 they were the same as mine which is what led to my confusion; P6 V7.0+ automatically consideres the project calendar to supercede any global settings.
Thanks for the help everyone

how was it converted ? The only ones that I have seen a problem with is when you import a P3 file it divides the original duration by a factor of 8 is this your case ?
make sure that the calendar being usid is correct
make sure that the duration type is correct
make sure that the hours per time periods match 8 40 172 and 2000

Bashar,
If you are unable to resolove the issue by importing the porject again then do one of the following:
1. Find what is % increase or decrease in the duration and then fix it by global change.
2. Export the data in Excel, correct it and re-import the data, but be careful if the scheule is resource loaded.
