I am not sure I fully understand why duration as calculated by MS project is
not what you are looking for. But based on your example, have you thought of
taking the difference of the Actual Start Date and Actual Finish Date fields?
You could probably set up a custom field to calculate this automatically.
But I think this calculation may end up giving you the same result as the
duration field would. It’s worth a try and compare the two.
