Hi Wendy
Lag represents a delay between the successor and its predecessor, usually in working days. You can add Lag by double clicking on an arrow between two tasks or by clicking on a successor task in the task list and going to the predecessor tab.
I hope this helps - please let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
