As best I can tell by looking at my own figures, the "Work done for this project" figure shown in your screenshot corresponds to the total amount of credit awarded to your user account. The terms "work done" and "credit" seem to be interchangeable. There are two sources of delay in this figure: 1. Credit is only awarded after an individual work unit/task has been completed, not during the processing. 2. The actual statistics display is infrequently updated. The client is not in constant contact with the server. It seems the statistics are only updated when the client completes work and requests more work to download, but it seems it requests the latest statistics *before* telling the server about the work it has just completed, so that that work doesn't get reflected in the statistics until the *next* update, many hours later! Under "Project Commands", there is an "Update" command, which, among other things, brings in the latest statistics if you really must have them, but I get the impression it might be best not to bother the server too much by pressing it a lot. You can also see the most up-to-date figures (but not a graph) on your online account in a Web browser.
