Customer pays me to make it work, not make a pretty thing that doesn't work and is over budget - but pretty. I optimise for "make it work", that's what the deal says. If there's extra time, I might go to step two which is "make it pretty". Meaning that I go through the code and see that it's all good and proper if we need to add features later on.
