Hm, org-taskjuggler doesn't do anything magic here. It just takes the
value of org-export-taskjuggler-default-project-duration.

I just looked at the help string for defcustom (C-h f defcustom) where
it says:

So if I understand this correctly it appears that defcustom is
overwriting your file variable. I don't understand however how you could
make your file variable work.

Maybe the variable org-export-taskjuggler-default-project-duration needs
to be buffer-local. How does this interact with defcustom?

Thanks
