Thanks

Your model assumes that every task is perfectly scripted into a set of 
sub-tasks, and that new tasks do not emerge or new work is not added.  If this 
is the case then your assumption is superb. 

Depending on the complexity of the task, however, new sub-tasks may often 
occur, and they often cannot even be foreseen because they are contingent on 
the results of the first tasks. So under these situations you may end up 
finishing the sub-tasks and not even be close to finishing the primary task.

FWIW I estimate that probably 65% of my tasks have this discovery/task creation 
or elaboration phase to them -- and that is a task, not a project.

Does this explain the difference?
