The Approved Contract Programme is not a contractually binding document unless it is bound into the contract.
Its status is a road map or guide as to how the contractor intended to complete the works within the contract period - at the time of starting.
It will be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
It is not good practice to bind the programme into the contract because if the employer causes a delay it requires an instruction to vary the programme.

The Finish Date of the Impacted Schedule is I prefer to monitor for EoT claim because it represent the Impacted Project Completion Date.
The Negative Total Float that appears in the Impacted Schedule will represent either the Total Working days or a Calendar Days, which depend on some settings. Number of Working days is smaller in value than the Number of Calendar Days if there are non working days in your Default Calendar. Therefore, if the TF is set as working Days, then, when added to the Original Contract Duration, it shows a lesser Time of Extension.

Hi Jerome
You have been reading too many books on delay analysis and you seem to be lost in the jargon.
Some protagonists of the art try to make a very simple process as complex as possible - it is not rocket science.
My advice is to follow the basic principles and ignore the acronyms and the complexities that you may be trying to understand.
Thankfully there is no qualification for delay analysis only experience and track record- keep at it and keep it simple.

I am looking to find out, why in a TIA would you use dates (E/S - E/F) over TF (CP) ? Or viceversa ?
I have read so many articales and none define either as a standard approach.....

Hope this will help.
