Because the project is scheduled from the finish date, negative leveling delays add time after a task, rather than before a task. If you use automatic leveling to reduce resource overallocations in your project, Project automatically adds a negative number for the leveling delay for the sake of balancing resource availability. If you drag a Gantt bar to change the finish date of a task, Project automatically assigns a Finish No Later Than (FNLT) constraint. You should set other constraints only if they are necessary. When you enter new tasks, Project automatically assigns the As Late As Possible (ALAP) constraint to those tasks. What happens when Project schedules from a finish date?
