No, there's not, it depends on the Project and it depends on the Project Manager. However, the granularity level of the work packages should not be too much detailed nor too much general, it should be something in between.

Too detailed: Any blimp in the project schedule and you'll find your whole gantt chart in need of a redo.

Too general: You gantt chart will be of no use.

Hope my answer helps.

How will projects behave?

Projects can simplistically be represented to fall within the time, cost and quality triangle. It is down to the Project Manager to deliver the expected performance, within the time available with the funds allocated. Depending upon the experience and maturity of the Project Manager/Team and how they run the project, the Organisation (Executive Support) and Processes to be followed, the complexity (including dependencies), changes that happen during the life of the project, and upon the external context, will all affect how the project will behave. More often that not, the success of the project is more dependent upon the soft skills (leadership, teamwork and everyone pulling together and being proactive), rather than blindly following any rule book.
