(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.
There is the original Project approved baseline. The project evolves, the project gets behind, so there is a major change in phasing to bring it back a bit. Can you approve a re-phasing project as a Re-baseline if it is negative? Can you have a defacto baseline? Meaning shouldn't we compare the current updates to the "changed phasing" version - or do you have to keep comparing to the Original Legal baseline? What are the general legal issues to keep in mind with re-baselines - it seems like they should occur almost each time projects change sometimes.

What if it was never approved? Just got lost in the shuffle? Then the 1st update was approved. Couldn't you consider either the baseline? I think a baseline is better not updated but I think you could consider a partially updated schedule the baseline. I understand you could force a contractor to back out the progress and re-submit but at some point you simply are better off moving on, in particular if the issues that occured are otherwise documented.
you would compare the current to the re-baseline hence the work RE-Baseline this is your new line in the sand in which progress should be measured against.
The approved original Project Baseline will always the legal baseline to be used unless an approved EOT has been placed which requires re-baseline to be approved with compliance on the approved EOT. If the project is behind and had been ask for recovery schedule, it does not mean that if will be use as a new baseline. It is a what if scenario to mitigate the delay and best-case scenario to bring the project back to schedule. A baseline cannot have a negative float as it was an indication that your project completion is not achievable. A recovery schedule may change the logic, re-phasing and may include acceleration on contractor’s cost. A comparison with current updated schedule vs recovery is only a what if scenario and not legally binding with the contract unless it is the approved re-baseline based on the approved EOT.
