when you import the project during the import process at the update Import Options select modify
in the 3rd section under Data Type: Project where it says calendars change this to Do Not Import and the calendars wil not be imported.
The import configurations are set at the "Update Project Options" step within the import wizard. You see only the Default Configuration I guess.
Please see the details here:

first guess is that the project is using global calendars vs project calendars. The defaukt calendar that was used and YOUR default calendars are different.
Also your TIMES for your data date may be different
Thanks for your comments
Please could you elobrate where to select new import confugurration , it would be really helpful
While recheck i found that the previous overirde function , and my setting were not considering it.
thanks
When importing create a new import configuration and in that configuration select insert new for calendars. Make sure that calendars in the XER files are imported.
Also make sure the environment that produced that XER has a similar hours/day setting like yours. hours/day is typically and by default 8. If you messed with that setting durations would not look right.
If you still see the dates are changing then probably the XER is produced before scheduling and dates are not necessarily right just after the import.
