> The misunderstanding lead to software that had good quality but often didn't do what we wanted :\ This. If you want me to cook a new dish, you should give me in writing exactly what you want or at least make sure that you carefully read (in full) and sign off the requirements/specs document(s) produced after our discussion. Clients 100 percent (yes I mean it) of the time aren't even sure about the full requirements, let alone clearly conveying them during initial stages. This always ends with this word "misunderstanding". I'm saying this from my experience working with both small and large fortune 500 clients.
