What is redundant

 

1. surplus to requirements; unnecessary or superfluous

 

2. verbose or tautological

 

3.  (Industrial Relations & HR Terms) deprived of one's job because it is no longer necessary for efficient operation: he has been made redundant.

 

4.  (General Engineering) (of components, information, etc) duplicated or added as a precaution against failure, error, etc

 

5.  (Electronics) (of components, information, etc) duplicated or added as a precaution against failure, error, etc

So a redundant task will be an extra task to prevent failure or errors

task performance is parsed into execution and result variables that are related by some function which provides a set of equivalent executions for a given result. Variability over repeated performances is analyzed with a view to this solution manifold. 

Redundant task is a project task / activity that you actually don't need and that will not benefit the project in any way. Also, if you don't accomplish it, it will not harm your project either.

The redundancy which occurs during the determination of task dependencies does not impact project schedule.
