Need help with query

Don't know if this would be the correct place to ask this. We have a
postgresql server running version 6.5.3
It hosts a 100 or so different databases, and performs just great. I do
however have one query which takes about 20 seconds to complete. The
database only has 200-300 records. Don't know much about SQL other than
simple selects and inserts. I'm the one who created the query in
question, and even today when I look at it, I'm not sure I understand
it, but it gives us the results we want, it's just very slow.

I'm sure someone with some SQL know-how could probably shorten this
query down some. But it's way over my head.

Basically I've got a database with these tables:
client (list of clients)
project (each project belongs to a client)
subproject (each subproject belongs to a project)
status (each project has a status)
users (each project and subproject are assigned to a user)
timelog (each timelog record indicates time worked on a particular
subproject and who worked on it)

A sample row would look like this:


project_id|project_title|clientid|status|percentcomplete|duedate
|usersid|client_id|name
|users_id|users_name|status_id|status_name|hoursworked
----------+-------------+--------+------+---------------+----------+-------+
---------+-----------+--------+----------+---------+-----------+-----------
        143|project 1    |      79|     3|
100|04-06-2001|      8|       79|Client Name|       8|     Kevin|
3|status     |          1



The query is below. Again if this is not the appropriate list for such a
question, my apologies.
