Call it entitlement or petulance; that's a fair criticism. This is first time I've done a non-greenfield project in over decade so perhaps I'm used to having more control. I usually create complete products or the main technology. The poor design probably won't kill anyone (it's a surgical device) but it will cause a greater cognitive load than is necessary. I have more than enough work for clients who can appreciate what I can bring to the table. I chose the clients I want to work with. The client didn't knowingly treat me poorly and there aren't many people who work with this particular technology. (The last one they hired didn't know the technology so they hired me to fix it.) I really don't want to leave the guy in the lurch but, as an artist (metaphorically speaking), I'm not interested in doing paint-by-numbers work.
