Symptom

In "Plan Customer Projects" app, for an additional resource in a work package, entering planned effort that exceeds a certain time period results in a total cost that does not match the expected calculation. 

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the "Plan Customer Projects" app and navigate to the relevant project

  3. Enter planned effort for a certain time period, and observe that the total cost is calculated correctly
  4. Increase the planned effort, and observe that the total cost calculation does not match the expected result

Cause
