Don’t change the deal after the fact; next time figure this out upfront and sell the task for value (fixed price) instead of hours and don’t mention the time you will spend. Practice in front of a mirror to look like things are going to be pretty rough for this task and say things like ‘clearing your agenda’ etc even though you know it’s going to take you only a few hours. After they sign, they signed for value, not hours, so you don’t owe them any explanation why they paid 20k for 2 days work. I personally, if it’s not urgent (urgent has a cost multiplier!), wait 3 weeks before starting so they won’t ask that question anyway.
