I have two major tasks with children, 'Site D migration' and 'Site A
migration'. My project starts say, 1st May 2004.

Site D migration has a final task 'Train Staff', which can't happen
until Site A has 'Returned to corporate LAN'. 

That means site D items start, then there is a long wait until 'Train
Staff', due to site A generally having more complex items.

How can I delay the start of all the site D items so there isn't such
a wait?

I don't mind tweaking by hand. What's the best way to do it?
    

I'm not sure I follow your exact example but there is generally two ways
to delay tasks:
  

Nicholas wants to find out when the task is supposed to start if the end time is determined.  I do not believe Planner can do it at this time.   In other words:  can you delay the END of the task?  Can you then deduce what the START of that task should be?  There are some hooks in the Task dialog, but I do not think they work.

1. Add relations between tasks (click on a task and drag to another)

2. Set a constraint, which is done in the task view, click the start
date cell and choose "Start no earlier than"m or "Must start on".

Hope it helps
