You need to be able to respond to the "how many days is that then?" question. Giving a number of weeks gets around this some of the way, I guess.
I would break down the costs for yourself but give the client a grand total of £XXXX. Having said that, usually we break down each cost item - but that allows clients to then say - I don't need search so please don't charge me £YYY. That can be tricky but useful if they have a budget. You should also consider adding in at cost items like specified stock photography etc. It makes the proposal look a bit more comprehensive.
You may wish to cover yourself for any "extra revisions" so that if the client wants another round of changes you can legitimately charge them as extra work. You need to add a line stating the limits on changes.
Proposal writing is so difficult - these days I feel like I spend more time writing and justifying a proposal than designing.
