You are right, and this in my opinion is very dangerous.
I never had a reason to make duration of resource assignments and activities independent. Maybe a programmer had an idea on cleaning after the end of an activity or another usage? No idea. Might be that Primavera people can explain.

Hello Dieter,
Yeah, I realized the error (1200h) after i copied the screen.
thank you for your advice on "Drive Activity by Default".
So, if this is unchecked the Activity Start/finish dates are not driven by the availability of the resource, but the activity start/finish dates will follow the activity calendar instead. Is this correct?
What scheduling scenarios would you need the Drive Activity Dates to be unchecked?
Hi José
In my opinion the settings seem ok.
I admire your capacities: 1200h of work a day! Great! But what are yor plans for the rest of your days?
But serious: To unmark "Drive activity days by default" is extremely dangerous because duration of activities and resource assignments then will be independent, even the time frame. There might be special situations where this is feasible but not as a standard setting.

Dieter
Sorry I didnt make this clear:

On 3rd Project Window: UNCHECK Drive Activity Date by Default:
On 4th Resource Window: Details Tab: UNCHECK Auto Compute Actuals
Here is how my Adm. Pref. Time Periods are set:
