In TUTOS this point has been addressed by keeping three different volumes for 
each task:
 . planned volume, or simply volume
 . volume done
 . volume to do

When the task has begun, you can't modify no more the volume.
Each time you book some time on the task, you increment the volume done, and 
have an option to manually set the volume to do, which else is to be 
automatically computed (volume - volume done).

So at any point in the task resolution, you can see the planned volume, the 
volume done and the last refined estimation of volume to do.

If planner was to work that way, it could help us joining our efforts later 
on ;)
And if you see a better way of handling this, we could make TUTOS aware of it 
and the server be ready for client use!

If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3% ?
