Tasks with different calendar times
That's because you've given Activity 2 a duration of 1 day which is 3.67 hours and if Activity 2 starts one hour later than the normal start time of 9:00 AM, that 1 day duration will push Activity 2 into the second day.
I would not create a separate calendar for the special tasks that start one hour later. If those special activities are indeed dependent on other tasks (i.e. Finish-to-start relationship) put a lag in the Predecessor (i.e. Activity 1 + 1h).
As I noted, for the type of scheduling you are doing I would avoid entering task duration in days or even hours since rounding will cause problems with the display. I'd enter all durations in minutes. That will give the cleanest and most accurate presentation.

Thanks for the correction John. So I have tasks scheduled in the period from 09:00 to 13:00. But I also have activities on the project that should start from 10:00 to 13:00. To solve this case I added a new calendar to the tasks with the period from 10:00 - 13:00. Unfortunately it does not work happens that the task comes to finish partially the next day and affects other project activities. As you can see in "Activity 2"
