Original    New          Duration  % Complete  Actual Work  Remaining Work task type   task type    change    change      change       change -- Fixed       Fixed Work,  None      Increase    Increase     Decrease Duration    Fixed Units

Fixed Work, Fixed        Increase  Decrease    None         None Fixed Units Duration
