`org-set-effort' allows you to _set_ the effort value.

`org-clock-modify-effort-estimate' allows you to either set the effort
value (e.g. if you enter 1:30, the old value will be replaced by this
one) or to increment/decrement the effort value by using +mm or
+n[hdwmy] -- e.g. entering +1d will increment the current value by 1
day.  "1 day" is interpreted depending on `org-effort-durations',
which see.

Hope this clarifies,
