What

When a project is created from a template that includes a schedule skeleton, the system SHALL instantiate the template's activity list and dependency edges into the new project's activity tables, with start dates anchored to the project start_date.

Why

Templates accelerate project bootstrap; established project management guidelines Define Activities accepts Organizational Process Asset reuse, which is what the template library is.

How

Extend REQ-FUN-081 template instantiation to recognize a schedule section (activities + dependencies) in the template body; on instantiation, copy rows with project_id rewritten, planned_start shifted by (project.start_date - template.anchor_date).

Done when

A template containing 20 activities + 25 dependencies produces an instantiated project with the same network and shifted dates; round-trip test green.

Out of scope

Resource-allocation templating; dynamic activity generation.
