How is this different from Lagrangian mechanics? It seems as though the author is substituting "action" in Lagrangian mechanics for "task" and calling it a new theory.

Dunno, but I wonder if there are even "tasks" in CT that don't use energy. I think even a proton will lose energy through redshifting.

I think they are trying to explain the connection between the past and the future. Classical models only describes the effect of the past into the future.
