I believe it could be reasonable to enable lead time for inherited
parent dates. This small change should allow much more project
planning felxibility to MLO.

For example you have simple two-step project
Project (due 17.10.09)
     I_____Task 1 (inherited 17.10.09)
     I_____Task 2 (inherited 17.10.09)

When planning the project you realise that you need to start Task 1
five days before the project deadline, and Task 2 three days before
the project deadline. You set the resepctive deadlines for tasks 1 and
2.

Project (due 17.10.09)
     I_____Task 1 (manually set 17.10.09 - minus 5 days lead time)
     I_____Task 2 (manually set 17.10.09 - minus 3 days lead time)

Furhter, if the deadline for the project changes, you need to reset
deadlines for each task again. This will be really ineficient for a
normal multi-task project. If we added the proposed feature the
picture will look as follows:

Project (due 20.10.09)
     I_____Task 1 (automatically set 15.10.09 [5 days lead time])
     I_____Task 2 (automatically set 17.10.09 [3 days lead time])

Please comment if U agree.

Kind regards,
Dmitry
