Very aptly summarized, if I need to add something I’d say. 1. Be Pragmatic. 2. Understand the Client’s base needs, you might get lucky and find a quick fix. 3. Explain the impacts of changes on your budget, timeframe and resources. Risk Manage your proposals, build contingencies so any hiccups stay within targeted budget to stay profitable.

RIGHT client is always right. When a key client requests for last minute change, I would first ensure him that I would study the possibilities and do whatever in my power to honor such request. My focus will be on client experience. If I can manage it, for whatever it takes, I would explain the challenges and struggles to the client so that they know I have gone the extra mile for their satisfaction. I don't mean to oblige the client in any way, but just to make them aware. Finally, I would update the proposal trying to keep it in accordance with the demands. Nevertheless, if any deviations were needed, I would have explained my justifications to the client clearly. In any way, I would try to keep my KEY client as content as possible.
