This past week I had to cancel a project with a client due to site and existing restrictions due to the layout of the home.  It's never a good conversation to have, but I cover how being honest with a client is always the best approach.  Then I came across a video from another architect, Eric Reinholdt of 30X40 Design Workshop, where he states that specifying or drawing an element now prevents deferring to someone making a decision for you later in a project.  I expand on this by giving two project examples where this statement holds true.
