I'll try that next time, must admit I really have to overcome some inner resistance. I've been thinking to try "project based pay" again for that reason (fixed price for delivery/milestones), but that is of course fraught with other problems. Most importantly the dependence on other people that can delay execution and therefore also payment. And of course the difficulty of making good estimates.
