SYMPTOMS
After you change the length of a working day on a project (for example to create a five-hour work day), when you log into Project Web Access (PWA), click Projects, and then view the Duration field, PWA still calculates working hours based on an eight-hour day. This problem occurs even if the Enterprise Global Calendar was configured to a five-hour work day.
