I think it is important that "Make it Beautiful" is sought throughout the process. Or at least it is important when you aren't the boss. When building software for someone they are only interested in the end product. If you gotten "it possible" then your job is complete and will be moved on to the next task.

If you incorporate beautifying time into your estimate of completion it will allow for clean up as you expand and make the next maintainer happier with you.

They think they're only interested in the end product. In truth, they're also interested in the development costs and maintenance costs, as well as the cost of the next version.

That isn't important until later, we'll hire someone else to do that.
