For me it's more or less the same. If everything goes according to plan, then spending 5 hours means getting 5 hours worth of work done. Now if things turn out to be harder than anticipated and working for 5 hours on a 8 hour task gets you half way, then you'd say work done is 4? When updating the planning you'd have to extend the task's duration to set a realistic end date. That action would at the same time increase the 'work' field. So if work was 8 hours before and is now 10, then work done should now be 5 (because you're half way done), which is again equal to effort spent. Only if extending the duration would not increase 'work', would I be willing to make a difference between 'work done' and 'effort spent'. Note that I'm not saying I'd want it to work like this. I'll respond to the rest of the mail later. Once I understand your idea of effort spent and work done.
