Actual Work entered in My Tasks changes when Non-work time is entered in My Timesheets in Microsoft Project Web Access
Source: Microsoft Support
RAPID PUBLISHING ARTICLES PROVIDE INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM WITHIN THE MICROSOFT SUPPORT ORGANIZATION. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS CREATED IN RESPONSE TO EMERGING OR UNIQUE TOPICS, OR IS INTENDED SUPPLEMENT OTHER KNOWLEDGE BASE INFORMATION.
In a Microsoft Project Web Access timesheet, when you enter Administrative time against a category or type of 'Non-work' and that Administrative time or timesheet is saved, Actual Work that is already entered into My Tasks is incorrectly re-scheduled in the My Tasks view.
This problem may occur when the Non-Work time typed into the timesheet is entered as a calendar exception into the resource’s calendar. Creating a Non-Work entry makes the resource unavailable for work for a portion of the day. The Work is timephased across the entire day and not in a specific period, resulting in a change in the entered Actual Work for the same day. There may be an overlap of Work time entered in My Tasks and Non-Work time entered in My Timesheets. This problem occurs even if the total number of hours reported does not exceed the resource’s availability for that day.
WORKAROUND 1
Project members should enter overhead time in “My Timesheets†BEFORE they enter the billable time “My Tasksâ€.
WORKAROUND 2
Enter time in the “My Timesheet†category, then import it into “My Tasks†category using the Import Timesheet feature in Project Web Access.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
