In software development, you sign a contract for what you will do. If its not in the contract then a new contract gets made for new editions. This is the part of the story people are not getting from the developer. So its not that MS wanted more from the project or that the company wanted more money to do the extra work, that part would just get worked out in a change order. The part that we are not getting is if the developer reached their milestones. Was the project already over budget for the work done. Was MS happy with the project at its current level. Its easy to favor the small developer but its also for small developers to bit off more than they can chew and thus be under the gun to deliver a product which they cannot complete successfully.
