Dates - Anticipated duration of service provision - (Value)
This is the anticipated length of the service delivery in months, from the start date to the end date of the delivery (not the end of outcome payments). If the start and end date fields are filled in, it is possible to calculate this duration automatically and thus the duration may not be filled in.
The usage of MAY implies truly optional: that including and not including the duration is fine.
If the intended meaning is that only one of the two be filled in, either the duration or the start and end dates, then propose to change the definition to:
If the start and end date fields are filled in, it is possible to calculate this duration automatically and thus the duration MUST not be filled in.
Similar usage of MAY exists in the definition of Dates - Actual duration of service provision - (Value) too
