Apart from the constraints, what I had was 2 calendars: one with 5 working days a week and one with 7 working days a week. Activities with the 7-working days created a path with less float than the critical path due to the P3 counting 7 days per each week.
Solved!
Thanks for your help!

You have a constraint which is forcing some of your activties to have -15 day float.
Go to one of your activities with -15d float, and open the successors. trace the successor which has -15d float, and keep doing this unitl you find the activity with the constraint. remove the constraint and re-schedule.
In my opinion it is generally not a good idea to use constraints in your schedule. Especially if you do not understand the effect they have on float.

have you set a project must fininsh by date ?
check this and make it the same as the constraint date on your last activity.
