(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Dear Planning Planet,
I update our construction programme every week. Because of our poor performance on site the late finish was resulted to be sooner than the early fiinish. My story is when i made a 1 week look-ahead schedule the late finish date is impossible for the actiivity to finish as it gives only a remaining of 2 days for 1 acitivity to be finish. This 2 days is really impossible as per actual performance on site. Now, the project manager want me to move the late finish. I told them this happened because we are delayed. Project Manager want me to adjust the schedule.
Is it fine to change the start date / durations just to recover delays or change sequence of future activities when the site team wants it or just stick to the original schedule? This always happens to me everytime we are delayed in activity. Need help for the concept of planning specially on this kind of situation.

Hi,
Wifredo is right, you must adhere to the articles of your project contract. However, you may request from the client to submit a separate catch up schedule for a few chain of activities (say 2-3 activities) within a period until you cope up with the desirable situation. In this case you can make necessary adjustments of the activities succeding the subject activity.
Hope this will help.
Hi,
I would suggest to review your entire master schedule and check all the activity relationship, lags, and so on prior to adjusting anything on the schedule. Back it up and keep a record of it to track any changes you've made just in case. With regards to changing the end date, you should read the contracts what you can and cannot do in the approve schedule. Client should be notified of any revision and changes in the master schedule.
Hope this give you some insight.
Regards,
