Before entering the %WorkComplete figure (in your case, 25%), you must first tell Project when work on the task actually began.

1. View > Gantt
2. Insert the column "Actual Start"
2. Change the date from NA to the date when work actually started.
3. Enter the %WorkComplete number.

You should see the display you were expecting.
