It is honestly all over the board. I've worked with clients that had estimated the return, in many cases because it was very easy to do. Migrating from an expensive proprietary product (IBM MQ) to a much cheaper open source product (Red Hat AMQ) when you have 1000s of brokers and yearly subscription costs makes it very easy to calculate the savings. Another client was working with us to create a new product line from scratch. As part of that, they had to estimate the return on the product, the budget it would take, then justify that to their owners. I've also had clients where they are not great at this. They are also invariably the ones with poor scope control and overall immature project management.
