I, and my colleagues at Buro Four, have first-hand experience of using Powerproject on a number appointments for the analysis and production of Extension of Time submissions and Delay Analysis. I first started using Pertmaster in Expert Witness appointments in about 1989 and, if my memory serves me correctly, have used Powerproject from about 1991.
My experience is that many others in the forensic community use also Powerproject. In particular if it was the software that the project programmes were contemporaneously produced upon. As you are probably aware Powerproject appears to be the most popular software in the UK Construction Industry so it makes sense to me at least to continue using it for further analysis. Whilst to some extent there is some interchangability, import/export, between software packages there is also an associated risk of errors and inaccuracies creeping in.
In September 1994 I completed research into Delay Analysis Methods (The Simulation of Construction Project Delays, available on loan from the CIOB library). That research, in addition to illustrating the techniques you describe, also included a survey of software usage in the UK Construction Industry (specifically in connection with delay analysis). A case study/example is also included which utilised Powerproject.
It may also be worthy of note that Keith Pickavance now includes Powerproject/Teamplan as demonstration software in his master classes.
