    You just have to talk with them and be honest.

    Personally, I like the flat fee proposal, keeps it all clear. If something becomes ridiculous time consuming I just bring it up "hey, this is taking a lot more time than was estimated".

    They'll either say "ok, just send us the invoice" (and you can decide if you want to actually bill them) or they'll say "oh, really? Ok, sorry, we'll wrap it up".

    I've had, more or less, equal of both responses. Most importantly, you need to communicate to them it is getting unreasonable.

    Side note: if the project is almost done, and you are sure, I'd just stick to the original fee, bring up the extra time for the next project. Get done, get paid.
