The single biggest mistake in the example is giving an estimate for the whole project without knowing team velocity.
I'm inclined to agree. Often though a client will want an estimate (to a ridiculous accuracy) before agreeing to the work. Unless you churn out web page templates or something equally repetitive it's hard to have that relevant velocity.
I still come up against client managers that don't "believe" in Agile approaches too.

I can completely understand though; it's very difficult to leave a conversation being told "we don't know yet, it's likely to be X & Y (but we're not 100% sure) and possibly Z too".
