    hard to say. Will there be ongoing work after the project completes?

    if so, I'd sever now, as you client is unlikely to grab a brain and get you things in a timely manner. They'll drag you down as long as they've got free time on their hands.

    otherwise, batten down and finish up the work. better to leave a client satisfied then to have them drag your name through the mud.

    in the future, you might add a clause to your contract that states reworking elements after sign-off of a milestone, or false starts based on client input, get billed 150% or 200%. to better control scheduling.

    you never know when a choice job will come along, and being tied up with an indecisive client might mean you'll miss it.
