Three things control the tempo in Finale:
Tempo Tool (= the recorded tempo changes)
Expression Tool (= the expression tempo changes)
Playback Controls
And they work in a hierarchical fashion.
The tempo in the Playback Controls is overridden by an Expression that sets a tempo.
This is overridden by the Tempo Tool, which is at the top of the "Tempo Hierarchy".
I would experiment with a backup copy of the document.
1) Since the Tempo Tool is at the top of the hierachy, I would begin with clearing the tempo changes:
Select All
Edit menu > Clear Selected Items…
In the dialog box Clear Selected Items, click "None”, and then select “Tempo Changes”.
2) If step 1) does not fix the problem, I would suspect that the culprit is an expression with playback effect “Tempo”.
Hence try clearing expressions from the score.
