SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project, when you create a new split part on a task you may experience the following behavior:

 An existing split part may be rescheduled incorrectly.

-or-

 The finish date of the task may change.

-or-

 The task percent complete may change.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if a task has a split, and you create a new split part between a completed split part and another split part.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
 * 1) Reduce the percent complete on the task to 1%.
 * 2) Adjust the duration of the task if needed.
 * 3) On the Edit menu, click Split Task and create the splits you want on the task.
 * 4) Adjust the actual duration or percent complete on the task to the value you want.

To prevent this behavior from occurring, follow these steps:
 * 1) Reduce the percent complete on the task so the split part prior to the split is incomplete.
 * 2) Create the new split part.
 * 3) Adjust the percent complete or actual duration if needed.
