Client: I need this very complex feature

Dev : Ok, give me approx 2 weeks, this is new to me, have to do r&d.

Client: I can't give you 2 weeks, you have 2 days.

Dev: Somehow manages to complete in 2 days.

After few weeks.

Client's representative : What's the progress on the new features?

Dev: You haven't mentioned any new features yet.

Client's representative: I don't care, it's been weeks now, here are more complex features, I need them tomorrow.

😕

    Set the expectation by completing initial task in two days instead of the estimated two weeks. They derived from this, that the estimations are vastly exaggerated even though they are not.

    Hope you sell at a skyrocket price your support.

    2 weeks in 2 days, I can presume no TDD and low quality. Do not put yourself in crappy position like this one. Clients like this doesn't see the big picture, morons.

    Ya if a client does this I pull a half previous estimate and rush charges. Clients aren't programmers they can't estimate stuff that's why they are hiring you.

    Charge extra and deliver in 1 week top. You can have an extra effort to deliver earlier, of course, but you have a life as well.
