Task Finish Date Not Updating Based on Finish To Finish Predecessor
You can't get there from here with a finish-to-finish link. My guess is that you recorded actuals against the project management task (e.g. actual start). That locked in the span of the management task so the finish-to-finish link with the newly updated project complete task was effectively nulled.
What you should have done (do) is use a hammock task as your project managment task. It will expand/contract to meet the changes in the plan. I thought this was mentioned in one of your many previous posts but maybe not. At any rate, see this Wiki article:

John-project Yes I had to end up using the hammock task method to get the project management task finish date corrected.
- John,
Thanks for the feedback.
