Personally, if a client made such a claim to me and expect me to do it,
I'd try hard to get it done like they want after I warn them that it is
not possible (and charge by the hour since it is a change from what they
agreed on). When it fails, I remind them that I told them before that it
was not possible and if they don't pay, then remind them about their
legal contract they signed.
Yeah.. I would lose allot of customers that way, but they would be all
customers who I wouldn't want to work for and who don't listen to what
can and can't be done. Not really people I want to work with. :)
