Also, conspiracy theory, contract development has a bit of a moral hazard problem when it comes to these sorts of issues.
On one side, we have the option that helps guard clients against accessibility issues and any problems that they might (though not necessarily will) engender, and is likely to be more maintainable in the long run. But it would also require fewer billable hours to build. And it's not what the client asked for in the first place, so there's the risk of burning social capital in trying to even suggest it.
Alternatively, you can get paid more money to supply the client with more immediate gratification.

Would it burn social capital to tell the client about a cheaper option? I thought people loved saving money.
- sacado2 8y agoI agree with you. This is all benefit for everybody: - You provide a cheaper solution, - You provide a solution delivered faster, - You can bill more per hour without the client even knowing: "you have solution A, which is exactly what you ask for, that will cost $20k and will be delivered in 30 days, or solution B, which is very close to your requirements, that will cost $10k and will be delivered in 15 days", but option B only takes you 10 days, so you are paid $1K per day rather than $667.
