am i entitled to ask a client for more money if the project required more time than originally estimated in the quote?
i know i should estimate better, but the client is aware it took more time and is happy with the results. we never explicitly discussed that it will cost more.
should i invoice them for the extra hours?

are we talking about a lot of extra hours? if you explained it to them why it took more hours, then i don't see why you can't charge

did you quote on the project or hourly?
if you quoted on the project and it took longer than expected you should prolly bite it, but if quoted hourly and due to screw ups by them, late delivery time of assets you should bill them.
i always put this line in to cover my ass:
"Changes made to the project specification after an approval has been made shall
incur additional costs to the Client and in most cases will require a time extension
for project delivery."

not alot of extra hours, about half a days' work (late night actually). it included a few hours research which i'm not going charge them for as i'm going to be doing more work on the same project.
i think going to invoice them.
if they have a problem i'll deal with it. i don't want them to think i'll do favours.
