Then perhaps I can use taskjuggler as my calculation engine and have a
automated loop with a control program parsing the calculated budget output,
making an adjustment to the project file, and then rerunning taskjuggler.
The loop would repeat until a solution, or lack thereof, is found.
Alternatively can task juggler make a resource person available for a
limited number of days during a period (eg you can use Harry but only for
any 3 days this month)? Then a client payment would become the allocation of
a resource person for a set maximum number of days for the remainder of the
project period.
