Let me try this question again. Lets say I have one person scheduled from 02/01 to 04/01 to complete a task that will only take them 4 hours. How do I tell project that I am giving them two months to complete a 4 hour task. This same person may have 19 other task for that same period.

As I described, you set the duration to the calendar duration and input 4 hrs for the work. Your resource utilization should reflect the percentage utilization of about 1.3%
