- If this was for a time-estimated job (i.e. this job would take about 40 hours of work), does it significantly alter the scope of the work? (For exampe, I told the client it's 40 hours of work, and this mistake takes it from 34 to 37 hours - the client is still paying less that the agreed estimate).
