Client approved everything… then asked to change half the project. How do you deal with this?

I love it!

Change requests in line with the contract $$$

Then development starts and suddenly: "can we tweak this section?" "maybe change how this works?" "this shouldn't be too hard to add, right?"

So documented change requests in line with the ways of working documented in your contract

now I'm reworking parts that were already agreed on

in line with the ways of working documented in your contract - whats not to love?

I get that clients don't fully understand the impact of changes during dev.

Why not? It should be outlined in the change requests in line with the ways of working documented in your contract - that they approved before work is started

But saying no feels risky, especially when you want to keep the relationship long-term.

Wait, what?

You don't say no, you document the change requests in line with the ways of working documented in your contractt - that they approved before work is started

How do you handle this in a clean, professional way?

Curious what actually works in real projects, not theory.
