IF you cant bill for feature creep on a contract get a new lawyer who can write out better contracts or walk away, some things are not worth the hassle.

You can get a contract for bespoke programming which includes such things as feature creep billing for just a few hundred, its not expensive but if its not written down, you dont have much of a leg to stand on if things ever had to go before a judge or some sort of arbitration unit.

If working in a team, there need to be documented standards for everything from the UX to the DB and everything in between. Its just common sense.

Time and materials works well, until the customer’s boss figures out they’ve been faffing about for a year and have nothing to show for it.
