I did one project for a client...who Id been doing workf for for 30 years....without a down payment....of 50 percent...last year, He went all over the map with requirements...and then refused complete...payment .
some people require strict guidelines or they dont know where..they ARE
what kind of work?
I just did a nightmare project for someone in California
They hired me to add something new to their software, but the original software did not work at all...
I explained to them it was like hiring a contractor to add an addition to your house but when he gets there, there is no house, but you expect him to build the house AND then put the addition on it for the same cost.
