Finish Date doesn't change in MS Project 2007

Tags: Microsoft, Project, 2007
I'm using MS Project 2007 to track a project.
I have a 240 hour fixed-work task that has a start date of 4/7/08 and end date of 5/16/08.
No work has begun on the task - actual start is NA and % work complete is 0%.
Why doesn't Project calculate a new finish date when I calculate the project or level the project? I know I've not changed that task, but why doesn't it see that the date no longer makes sense?

This is driving me buggy, and worries me that I may be off-track on the project and not know it.
