Hi Huang Zhao,
The issue here is the calendar assigned to the activites. Since the default is 8 hrs/day and you changed your Durations Format --> Unit of Time, to month then you must also changed your Time Periods in the calendar under Hours/Month from 172 to 240.
Try this exercise and let me know.
Best regards,

So according to the admin definitions:
240 days * 8hrs/day = 1,920 hrs
1,920 hrs / 172hrs/month - 11.16 months
If you don't like 11 months, change the admin settings. Those settings seem strange to me
e.g. 172hrs in a month and 56hrs in a week means 1 month = 3 weeks
2000hrs in a year and 56hrs in a week means 1 year = 36 weeks
Also you must check your resource calendar
Rocky, Senthuran and JRP.
I have checked my GOBAL & project calendar, there all 7-day workweek. All activities
In the Admin houes definition is as same as 7 day workweek calendar.
a) 8 hrs/day
b) 56 hrs/ week
c) 172 hrs/ month
d) 2000 hrs/ year
but the problem have not fix.
what's problem?

Hi Zhao Huang,
In your thought, 240-day duration equals 8 months including Saturday and Sunday. Remember that default calendar is usually 5 day workweek w/basic holidays, so when you change unit time to month, 240 days is about 10.2 months and shown on PM as 11 months.
Cheers.
Hi Zhao;
As Ray said please check your calendar definition, howmany hors/ day; how may days /month;
Then Admin category check the houes definition;
a) 8 hrs/day
b),,,/ week
c)..../ month
Now you will get the expected results.
As a example if you define the calendar 8 hours/ work day and if you assigne the 24 hours work activity , it will consider as a 3 days not 1 day.

Hi Huang Zhao,
Check your calendar in detail. i.e Workhours/day? Workday/week? or even Workweek/month?
What's your project calendar?
What's your GLOBAL (default) calendar?
What calendar have you assigned on that particular activity?

JRP
