My theory is that the writers of time reporting systems hate people. Perhaps they were badly treated as children, who knows.
"I know, let's force the user to enter each day on separate web page, make them hit enter, then hit another button to go to the next page."

There are three spread-sheets for translating project names and codes across the various systems. These are maintained on an ad-hoc basis so are often out of date, such that the current work package is not listed, and older ones are just wrong.
Invariably nothing adds up, and so managers start swapping stuff about, by altering peoples registrations.
