... that is dependent on the end date of Task X.

I'm trying to represent a contractual obligation in the Project timeline, and the contract basically says "whenever Task X wraps up, you have 180 days to complete Task Z."

Elsewhere, I have another similar situation that's like, "When Task B ends, you have until 12 months from the date of Event A to complete Task C."

At issue is that none of these deadlines are driven by a calendar date.
