call-a32367yHave a talk with the GM and throw some numbers at him. Like, we've been to client X times, changing the scope of the project causing us to redo Y hours of work and/or extending our estimates by Z each time. Then make a rough guess as to the cost of those manhours. Also, don't forget the shadow cost of any other work you could have been doing if the client hadn't changed scope midproject.
I find that when you start to reason about it, there is usually little a manager can say to defend a "for-free" stance.
Or at least you could have a talk about how this floating-scope affects your work.
