Its really strange that an activity with AS and AF having RD. As far i knew, p3 have one problem that it calculates the date with respect to the per cent completed, not with quantity remaining. For changing any calculation method we have to go to Autocost rules and change it. But i have never come across such problem.
I have been using P3 for more than 10yrs and finally a got a result which is impossible.
An activity with AS and AF, but PCT = 80% and RD = 9 !!!!
F9 does not correct the problem. However, if i type any value in PCT (not necessarily 100), P3 will correctly re-calc the PCT as 100% and and RD=0.
The strange thing is I do n ot how the activity can be 80% with RD, and has AS and AF in the first place!
Thought it could be an IMPORT malfunction, but when I tried to replicate the problem using the 2 screnarios below, P3 still did not produce that irregularity results.
Preset activity as 100% with AS and AF. Then IMPORT only PCT=80. P3 cleverly ignore the import values. Activity retained as 100% with AS and AF.
Preset activity as 80% with only AS, no AF. Then IMPORT only AF=04JUN. P3 correctly set activity as 100%
Anyone come across this irregularity before?
Thanks.

As Justin mentioned, what you're getting as percent complete from the summarized group is based on duration.
When i made a resource loading report based on cost from your Primavera file i fould out that the percent complete for "ESPECIALIDAD MECANICA" up to the 28th of April 2011 is 4.78% and not 4.68%

I reviewd your schedule and XL workings , what i found is that your XL waitage is based on COST , but in P3 will calculated the progress based on DURATION , so as per cost your progress is 4.68 % , but according to duration it is 44 % in P3,

in P3, go to Tools, Options, Summarization; from there you can choose your weighting factor;
don't be surprised if you found different results after calculations, again, it is because of consistency
