Thank you, I wasn't seeing the 'Effort' variable. My mistake was that in an attempt to clean up the somewhat overwhelming amount of power/detail of MLO that had gone into Tools/Options/Appearance and turned off 'Effort'. And then mistakenly thought the Project 'Time Required' was 'Effort'.
All good now, thanks for your quick and knowledgeable response.
