Hi Ken
You beat me to it - I was going to suggest that method.
I set lead in procurement to ALAP as a standard so that progress on the works reflects in the Lead In Activities.
Best regards

After much trial and error, I figured out that to make all activities that are not maditory starts as "start as late as possible" then sechdule... works like a charm...
Ken,
Do not worry. It made sense ….
I have done that but at the beginning of a project where everything is going to happen therefore start date=data date. What if runnings were simulated using constraint dates. Name it: start ON, or mandatory start and so on.
Your case is different, You have a portion in your schedule which is actual, real execution that you do not want to mess up. BUT you want to run the What IF scenarios. First of all, I would recommend making a copy of the original schedule and work with the copy.
If I were you I would create key points in the schedule (milestones) where I can link the activities being affected to this milestone. The key point would be taken the place of Data date with a constraint date. These points will be linked to activities being executed. Minimize links of these key points with activities under execution.
Ken , I hope my answer makes sense to you
Cheers,
