If MS Project is a pre-requisite then that is what has to be supplied. Having said that: for small projects, I would have thought that a spreadsheet could do 80% of the work for at least 80% less headache..
Not sure I agree with you there. MS project has resource balancing and can shunt tasks around based on prerequisites and deadlines. I wouldn't want to try that in a spreadsheet. Even if you just want to draw a gant chart, it's much quicker than using a spreadsheet. Although MS project is a product I don't wish to use, I do see value in what it can do.
If the headache is that you want columns that aren't there then I can understand that, though I have a vague recollection of custom fields.
A linux alternative is Planner ( http://www.simpleprojectmanagement.com/planner/home.html ) which I use on occasion. It's not compatible with or as featureful as MS project but serves my purposes well.
