Create a validation rule that will check whether a work item's start date was updated by setting the work item 'Duration', and begins prior to the parent milestone or project's start date. In such a case, throw an error and block updating the appropriate duration of the work item.

The Evaluation Criteria of this validation rule will be:

IsChanged($Duration) && IsChanged ($StartDate) && Not (IsNULL($Milestone)) && (Min($StartDate, $Milestone.StartDate, $Project.StartDate) = $StartDate)
Tips Validation Rules can be used throughout the entire system and will help in regulating data as per your organizational standards
