Beware making manual entries to leveling delay of tasks or assignments. Although manual entries are allowed, they are easily overwritten by the resource leveler. Manual entries of assignment delay and manual entries to the usage tables will not be overwritten. Good luck, tom
Thank you, this is much much more easy thant what I did before :
Going to "task usage" and putting 0 to each day the ressources will be out of the task.
Your proposal actually does the same job, but easier and with a slight difference.
Whereas my old method keeps the duration of the task, whatever the modification you make and whatever the type of the task is (fixed duration or fixed capacity or fixed work), your method takes in consideration the type of task and warns you if the task's duration has to be extended. In other words, the delay put in "resource usage" will be a shift of the duration of the resource.
There is maybe something to dig around the "Leveling Delay" in the task form. Let me take time to understand how it works and if this is interesting for that question, I will respond here.
This form was deeply hidden for me in MSProject and I'm very glad you made me find it ! ;)

Hell Sylvain,
I presume you will assign different resources to this specific task, not accrue the units for one single resource
Go to View, Details, and display the Task Form,
Select the Schedule format for the Task Form,
Use the Delay column to manage the number of days between the Start dates of the task and of the resource assignment.
I know no other way of doing what you are describing; or a VBA script
