Using Project 2003, I need to have a task called Certificate of
Acceptance to come 30 days after Commence System Acceptance Testing.

When I set a 30d value in the Predecessors tab of the Commence System
Acceptance Testing task, the Gantt chart shows the task finishing many
weeks later.

Why is this happening?
