#### Calculation of Delay[ ](https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/v13/user/manual/en/projects/delayed-tasks-summary#calculation-of-delay) <a href="#calculation-of-delay" id="calculation-of-delay"></a>

Tasks have a date field called **Completed On**, which becomes visible when a Tasks status is changed to Completed.

**Scenario 1**[ ](https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/v13/user/manual/en/projects/delayed-tasks-summary#scenario-1)

If a task is marked as Completed and the Completed On field is set, then the delay is calculated as the difference between the Completed On and the Expected End Date.

```
Delay = Completed On - Expected End Date
```

**Scenario 2**[ ](https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/v13/user/manual/en/projects/delayed-tasks-summary#scenario-2)

If the Completed On field is not set, then the delay is calculated as the difference between the current date and the Expected End Date.

```
Delay = Current Date - Expected End Date
```

#### Chart[ ](https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/v13/user/manual/en/projects/delayed-tasks-summary#chart) <a href="#chart" id="chart"></a>

The chart shows the number of tasks that are On Track or Delayed based on the report generated after applying the filters.
