I have dealt with an almost similar sort of client. What actually happen is that the said person is used to calling the shots, and would insist on getting things done "his way" without actual valid reasons.
Apart some time reasoning with him etc it became clear that there was no way the client is going to accept anything other than what he wanted, so what we did was to make him sign off on an agreement that we had done our best to alert him of the problems and consequences, and he was well aware of it and he wanted the change nonetheless. What happen next is almost astonishing, he suddenly didn't insist on his way anymore. I think what happen is that though he always want to call the shot, he is also equally afraid that if things goes wrong it would reflect badly upon him, thus backing down from his stance in the last minute. I guess it won't work for everyone, but it is still a good way to let others know that you had carried out your task professionally and is not simply making changes, good or bad, just to suit the client. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
