Ask HN: Simple Project Scheduling Software?

I'm currently doing a 6-month project for a client.

We want to simply create a schedule where I put each component of the project, how long it will take estimated, including hopefully some sort of beta testing/fixing time.

Then I give the software a start date and it will spit out a schedule.

Then when things change/go wrong/go right in the future, I should be able to change a date or a duration, and it will re-calculate my dates.

Does anyone know of this sort of software?

Microsoft Excel can do this (or Google docs if you prefer) assuming you setup the formulas to do the calculation. Pretty simple IMO. Some people prefer a more formal project system like Microsoft Project. A web app that is popular is Basecamp by 37signals.

If you have an existing app, you can try this: http://www.projectcodemeter.com/cost_estimation/kop1.html
