We can synch up the Microsoft
project plan with SP task list and once it’s in share point we can implement or
build our own controls tools on the data which is available in task list.

file with task/project list please visit here
The synch up has some limitations
that must be known before doing any synch up. Some of them are as follows.
SharePoint can only synchronize
resources that exist within its environment
When same item has been modified
both in SharePoint and Microsoft Project. In this example the %complete has
been modified in both sides with different values. The synchronization process
pops up the conflict resolution windows to help you resolving this issue.
Only works with SharePoint
Foundation or SharePoint Server 2010
Only works with Project Professional
only works when Project Professional is not connected to Project Server
Synchronized tasks become Manually Scheduled tasks (cannot keep Auto Scheduled

Few days back I was working with Microsoft
Project professional and share-point task list. We have to synch up the MPP
file with share-point task list. It got synched for first time but next time
when we downloaded it locally and tried to synch it started giving some
unexpected error messages.
Some of them are like..
Unable to Synch the file because the two or more summary
task name have the same name.
We checked the file for duplicate
summary name and we tried it once more by removing the duplicate names then it
got synched up but this is not happening on regular basis. After removing the
duplicate summary name some times it synch up some times not and sometimes
it synch also the duplicate summary name.
Another error I got was...
Unknown error has occurred unable to synch up with share
point list Check your share point site is running.
This is really something annoying to
me. Because the site is ON/Live, and I was able to browse and down load from it properly. :)
To resolve all above issues I did
some goggling and found some solutions around it. But none of them are 100%
solving my problem.
Some people says
Links can only be Finish to Start;
External dependencies are prohibited;
Custom fields are problematic i.e. sometimes will sync, then
subsequent runs will fail.
Is any body SME in this...?

SharePoint can only synchronize resources that exist within its environment. In this example the user named “Test User 1” is assigned to a task in Microsoft Project but as it does not exist in SharePoint the synchronization cannot be done. The resource assigned to this task is removed in SharePoint.
