Reading Part:
Businesses that perform services or carry out projects for clients generally come to an agreement with their clients about the extent or scope of a project before beginning the project. However, as a project progresses, clients may ask for more than the business originally expected to provide, and the scope of the project may grow larger than intended. This phenomenon is known as scope creep, and it can cause conflict between businesses and their clients. Scope creep is especially common when the terms or conditions of the initial agreement are not clearly defined, and a client may expect more than the business had planned to provide.
Question:

When the conflict happened, it can be carried out as what concluded in the terms. The professor takes his friend as an example. His friend runs a construction company. He got a business recently to build fence for a woman. They come to an agreement with the work and price in verbal. Before he finished the job, the woman come up with that she need the fence painted white. His friend argued that he was responsible for the building rather than painting. In the end, his friend compromised on painting without any extra money.
