I have an activity, "Concrete Material Testing", with an associated cost which I want to mirror in terms of duration with "Concrete Paving". In other words, Material Testing should start and end with Concrete Paving. Concrete Paving’s Duration has changed a lot because of the constant design tweaks.
The first idea that came to mind is to use a Hammocks Activity, but I have always thought of Hammocks summative activities and not genuine activities.
Is there something wrong with this approach or is there another or better way? I am working on a very basic schedule, but there are constant revisions.
Thanks.

Hammocks is the right way to go. You need a S-S from activity to hammock and F-F from hammock to activity. Keep the moving task as an activity and the dependent task as a hammock. Then as one changes the other changes with it.
Using just a F-F and keeping the dependent task as an activity will not adjust its duration, only its finish.
