This seems to be caused by the value given for x
in
\begin{tikzpicture}[x=.5cm, y=1cm]
Using x=0.7cm
(or a larger value) fixes the problem.
Like Claudio, I suggest you to use the pgfGantt
package, which I find quite simple, and whose documentation is quite clear.
Here is a MWE, with custom label, progress bar and relations:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ftbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{ganttchart}[y unit title=0.4cm,
y unit chart=0.5cm,
vgrid,hgrid,
title label anchor/.style={below=-1.6ex},
title left shift=.05,
title right shift=-.05,
title height=1,
bar/.style={fill=gray!50},
incomplete/.style={fill=white},
progress label text={},
bar height=0.7,
group right shift=0,
group top shift=.6,
group height=.3,
group peaks={}{}{.2}]{24}
%labels
\gantttitle{Week}{24} \\
\gantttitle{Monday}{4}
\gantttitle{Tuesday}{4}
\gantttitle{Wednesday}{4}
\gantttitle{Thursday}{4}
\gantttitle{Friday}{4}
\gantttitle{Saturday}{4} \\
%tasks
\ganttbar{first task}{1}{2} \\
\ganttbar{task 2}{3}{8} \\
\ganttbar{task 3}{9}{10} \\

\ganttbar{task 6}{18}{19} \\
\ganttbar{task 7}{16}{18} \\
\ganttbar[progress=0]{task 8}{21}{24}
%relations

I have solved the problem using a new command. Probably not the optimal solution but I added a new counter and command and set the week text to show the counter value.
This gives me the correct week numbers.
