How to update Project Calendar & Keep Start / Finish Dates the same
It kinda sounds like you want to do the schedule instead of letting Project do what it does best. Hopefully you are NOT also using manual scheduling. If you are then why use Project, Excel would be easier.
But to answer your question, how did you enter the duration values, hours or days? If your 7 day workweek calendar still has the default 8 hour workday (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with 1 hour lunch break), then adding the 2 extra days will effectively add 2 days or 16 hours which you will have to add to each duration value. If you have custom work hours in your 7 day calendar, then you will have to add the appropriate amount.
You will have to do all this manually, there is no setting that will automatically make the adjustment for you.
Hope this helps.

- Oilschedule,
Here's the why. You can't change history. When a task is done, it's done.
But here's something you can try. First, re-set the Project calendar to the 7 day workweek. Second, zero out the Percent Complete field. Third, update the duration by 2 days. The start and finish dates should remain the same. Finally, enter 100% into the Duration field.
If resources are assigned to the tasks, the above process needs to be modified or you'll end up with some incorrect data.
