We could run a daily forecast each night for the full project based on:
Available since date if not started
Started date once started
Baseline date if in future
Today if baseline in past and not started
Look Ahead date if in future
Today if Look Ahead date in past and not started
Based on those rules we could forecast the whole job and provide estimated finish dates for the full project and even proposals on the Week Plan / Today app.
