Gary,

it is correct but confusing.

Start at 8am on 20th of February and Finish at 17pm on 24th of February is also correct but not confusing.

Finishing project on Friday evening or on Monday morning is the same but those who want to use the product on Saturday may be disappointed.

Sivaganesh,

 

If you start activity 1 at 8am on 20th Feb, and it is 5 days duration, it will finish at 8am on 25th Feb.

 

This is correct.
