#93318 - maybe
Responding to: ???'s previous message
your client will likely have as much interest in renegotiating as you do

Absolutely, if it is a reasonable client - however

There is the other versions (all of which I have heard of)

"I will not pay you any more than agreed and, if you do not do what I want I will pay you nothing"
and the poor sod, in order to get, at least, some money trundle back to the lab.

"I will not pay you any more than agreed and, if you do not do what I want I will make sure that NOBODY ever gives you a job"
and the poor sod, in order to save his reputation, trundle back to the lab.

and then the worst one
"since this is not exactly what I want I will pay you 50% of the agreed price"
and, for some strange reason, the customer sell oodles and bunches of "not exactly what he wanted"

There are unscrupulous people out there that will, without hesitating, take advantage of the young kid that has decided to start consulting.
