I have modified the following fields to be displayed
with new titles.

Field Name Title
Baseline Start 75% Target Start
Baseline Finish 75% Target Finish

Start1 90% Target Start
Finish1 90% Target Finish

On the client side the titles appear correctly.
I addd the fields in the Summary view in the Project
Center. But in this view I cannot see the titles
being displayed correctly.

Please tell me how to resolve this issue!!!

When you changed the Title of these fields, the changes are only visible
within Microsoft Project, and cannot be published to Project Web Access.
There is a solution to this little problem, however: create custom fields
with the names you want to use. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the Enterprise Global and set up a custom Date field, such as the
Enterprise Project Date1 field. This field should contain a formula that
captures the Baseline Start date. Rename the field "75% Target Start". Use
the Enterprise Project Date2 field to capture the Baseline Finish field, and
rename it "75% Target Finish." Use the Enterprise Project Date3 field to
capture the value contained in the Start1 field, and rename the field to
"90% Target Start." Use the Enterprise Project Date4 field to capture the
value contained in the Finish1 field, and rename the field to "90% Target
Finish."

2. Ask each project manager to open every one of his/her projects and click
Collaborate - Publish - Project Plan, and then click OK. This will "push"
these new fields and their values out to Project Web Access for viewing in
the Project Center.

3. Log into PWA with Administrator permissions and create a new Project
Center view containing these new published fields. The custom fields will
show the names you have selected for them.
