Common faux pas of contract development clients

Question

I think a lot of people here have done some contract development. Just as there is a proper way to behave as a contract developer there is a proper way to behave as a development client.

What are some of the client faux pas that you have encountered?

Answer 1

Probably a bad idea to assume you will actually earn your quoted rate. There's an lot of time that you can't realistically bill for - some of it development time.

Answer 2

The only faux pas a client can commit is to bounce a check.
