Our development team has been offered a project that's far bigger than
anything we've done previously.

The client wants time estimates and quotes, but has only provided a
fairly brief outline of requirements.


Thats a bit like walking into a car showroom and asking how much a car
is without actually saying what model your interested in .

Unless they are willing to give you accurate details of what they do or
dont want - then walk away - for that sort of client is often more
trouble than they are worth .
