Last week, we sent out an offer for 102k and then the customer asked us, if we can please lower it to 99k, so they don’t have to go to their boss to get clearance.
Logically speaking, that is not how any of this works. It’s still going to need the same amount of budget to complete the task. But no one asked us devs how long it’ll take anyways, so I guess, that’s not my problem after all.

But you’re dealing with the mechanics on their side causing an issue with approval.
At that point, I’d look to remove scope to get under the 100k threshold.
