There's a great old film called "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" that illustrates this point beautifully, in a scene near the end, when the house is nearly completed, which involves "just four little pieces of flagstone", a bill for $1,247 (1948 dollars), and the architect's guess about what all had to be done (ripping out floorboards, walls, joists, pipes, electical wiring, getting the plumber, electrician, plasterer back to redo stuff, etc.) in order to get those "four little pieces of flagstone" put in as the floor around the sink in the "flower room". I'm always reminded of it whenever someone (including myself) asks to get "just this one little change in", right before a release is about to go out :) (BTW: If you've never seen the film -- it's highly recommended. Very funny. My other favorite scene is the one where Mrs. Blandings goes into great detail about the colors she wants the rooms painted -- wonderful.)
