Unable to save/publish Projects on Project Server 2010() using Project Pro 2007 and 2010

Question

Hi,
Recently we have upgraded from Project Server 2007 to 2010 SP-2 (BCM enabled) environment and from last few days we are getting issue with Project Plans where PMs are not able to update Projects means save and publish the Project using MS Project  2010/2007.
Whenever PMs try to open project using MS Project 2010 SP-2, it gets load successfully but when they hit save and publish no jobs are getting fired up nothing is happening. Only way to get out from MS Project 2010 window is to close the Project window and
and click discard changes. No error and exception windows are popping out in MS Project 2010, no error/problem/issue clue at all from MS Project 2010.
But when I try to update this Project plan for very first time using MS Project 2007 Sp-2 then I am getting below error
for any subsequent save and publish using MS Project 2007-SP2 getting below error
As an alternative I have tried to open this Project Plan using web and there it is getting opened saved and published successfully from PWA absolutely no issue.
Also I have saved this Project locally as XML and saved and published it on Server successfully. But after someday again this project got corrupt PMs started getting same problem again
I have also looked at ULS logs but not getting anything useful there.
So any guesses why this could happen that can give me pointers to find actual root cause, please let me know.
Thanks much !!!

Used below steps to fix the Projects on MSP 2010.
1) Open corrupted project in MS Project connected to PS 2010 Prod env.
2) Goto > Resource > Add Resource  > Build Team From Enterprise
3) Check is there any local resource who has not replaced with corresponding enterprise resource. If yes then replace all those local resources with enterprise resource. If not then move to next step.
4) Open resource sheet view and sort or filter by local resources.
5) Then add few columns in resource sheet view like "Windows User Account, Email Address , Base Calendar etc".
6) Now check has any local resource having enterprise attribute assigned to it, if yes then delete or assign local value as appropriate.
7) Then GoTo > File > Save & Send > Save as project file > Save for sharing (at local location)
8) Close project plan window and click "Yes" to save changes.
9) Restart MS Project 2010 and open your project from local location.
10) Then Goto > File > Save & Send > "Publish to Project Server". This will open "Import Project Wizard" to validate Resources and Task in Project.
11) Then in Import Project Wizard window at left hand side click "Map Resource" to validate project resources.
12) This will "Map Project Resource to Enterprise Resource " check all the resources highlighted with "Red" font and map "Standard" calendar to local resources.
       Note: Don't worry about local resource assigned "Standard calendar" but still highlighted "Red".
13) Then click "OK" and click on "Continue to step 2" at bottom of "Import Project Wizard".
14) Make sure you get number of errors 0 in step 2, else click on validate resource and take proper corrective action as explained in step 6.
15) If you leave at least one resource as a local resource (unmapped to an enterprise resource), you will see the local resource in the Import Resource grid on the right side
of the Confirm Resources page.         
Examine the value in the "Import" column (if not able to see this column then insert this as new column) for the local resource . 
The default value is "Yes", then change the value in the "Import" column
to "No", else system will import the local resource as an enterprise
resource.
16) Then "Continue to step 3, 4 and 5".
17) Then at Step 5 , Save project to Project Server by clicking "Save as" link.
18) Then publish the project to update the plan at PWA 2010.
