How to Change Working Time in Microsoft Projects
Microsoft Project is an application that is used by managers and project leaders to schedule workers and tasks for different projects. Almost every aspect of the schedule can be customized by the project creator, including the calendar and work schedule. Project employs a Monday through Friday work schedule with a 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. workday by default. It is possible to adjust the work time if a project will be operating on a different schedule, however.
