Are you required to give project time estimates to clients before you start? What's the best way to set expectations? Things always seem to take longer than planned. One could add a bit of padding for tasks but sometimes you don't need it.



It depends on the project. I seldom do fixed bid projects as I'm a big fan of agile. I'll give a rough estimate but bill on time and materials.
