In my grid I was using days for duration of tasks, which is 8 hours not 9. The software was scheduling 8 hour tasks over 9 hour work days. As you mention, the software does not show date and time, which would have highlighted to me that the 2nd task was actually being scheduled from 4pm instead of from 8am the next morning. The Powerapp accelerator shows end date and time for a project which highlighted that the project ended at an odd time. When I changed the working time to 8am to 4pm, everything scheduled correctly.
