Thanks for the question and thanks all for your valuable feedback. My personal opinion that Constraints should be minimized or even ommited and only to be used when satistfied for intermediate milestones.
Please refer to the below article which I really agree to its content and I believe is very helpful in this regard
My first reaction is Yes - all co nstraints should be removed as they have no place in a live programme.
Your freind should remove all constraints from the baseline BEFORE impacting any events to see what the true end date is.
And while he is at it check out all the lead lags.
My second reaction is - Why was the constraint there?
If it represented an "Off Works" milestone - such as Approval of Design - then the constraint should be removed and the milestone set as ALAP.
If it is because a lazy planner had left out some tasks or not developed enough detail then the contractor should be asked to develope his programme.
Just because a programme has been approved doesnt't mean it should be set in stone for ever - particularly if it was wrong in the first place and doesn't react realistically to events.
In any case the contractor has a big incentive to set out his case correctly - just watch out that he doesn't rig the adjustments.
