You can set workday and holidays in the properties window of scheduled project. For example, if you set Monday to Friday as workdays, and Saturday and Sunday as holidays, task duration will skip holidays during auto-adjustment.
In real-world corporate environment, however, there are public holidays and overtime that would affect task durations, leading to misunderstanding and delay. In response, go to the "Exception" settings in the Workday section of Project info, and set public holidays and overtime on the work calendar.

The corresponding task start time and deadline will also be automatically adjusted due to the addition of exception workdays and exception holidays!
Add workday exception
Note:
Workday exception is based on workday settings. If you go back to "Advanced" page and adjust the workday settings, existing exceptions will be adjusted as well. Based on the latest workday settings, the system will filter out added exceptions which are deemed invalid. For example, if you go to "Advanced" page and deselect Monday as workday, since September 24 is already a holiday which does not need to be added as exception, it will be removed from the exception list.
