Clients are notorious for delaying payments... You'd need a deposit before commencing any project.

One particular client always had new ideas for features each time I asked them to review the project... This can drag things and make you work at a loss due to extended unpaid time

This is a huge issue for me too....Just came back from Lagos, should have wrapped up but suddenly they need this and that, some of these things are useless or not even important for the project...seems they are scared of finally launching their business. Huge challenge mate

It's called scope creep. These types of clients are a hard one because requirements change fast and often.

Avoid Code at any cost and do prototyping until you can pin them to at least a direction of where the project wkll go. From there you can work using extreme programming methodology (the best fit for such situations) and DDD.
