Even when you're on good terms with the client and they are happy with the work, there may be some disagreement about what constitutes scope creep and that can significantly delay payments and complicate matters. You need to be very good at estimating (or understanding when to you can't and mitigating with staged contracts) and very good at preventing clients from arguing for a different scope than the one agreed originally.
I foresee some considerable pain when traditional day-rate contractors enter the brave new world of B2B and fixed price contracts, assuming that is even viable for some % of them. It may start to become clear that IR35 is not the main thing to worry about...requires a whole new skillset w/r to contract negotiation.
