MS Project Server - New Forecast Dates

In Project Web Access, when a resource is assigned to a task, he is only allowed to enter the % complete and /or the remaining hours. He cannot change the start/finish fields. I am trying to devise a good way to facilitate the resource in communicating a change to these dates to the project manager. None of the options I have thought of seem to be very efficent:

1) attach an issue to each task noting the date changes

2) attach a document to each task like a spreadsheet that shows the is/was for each date change

These both seem undesirable because a resource is dealing with with hundreds of tasks each day that may have date changes.

I need help in figuring out a way for a resource to communicate forcate date changes efficiently within Project Web Access.

Thanks!

    Scott,
    the administrator can allow the resources to enter actual hours per day / actual days per week instead of % complete; I cannot explain the whole process as I do not have MS Project Server currently loaded on my traveling PC
    this way, the resource would enter actual hours the day the task actually starts, and not the day the task should start
    Does it help?
