What happens when I make changes to a default calendar?
Calendars are used to calculate the duration of work steps and work packages. In turn,
those durations are used to calculate the project plan. When a calendar is changed,
the duration of work steps or work packages that use it changes. In turn, that impacts
the project plan.
