This is the only way I've found that we can do the needed refactor. As consultants, we never ask the permission of the client to refactor the code. Ever. That's not for them to decide. The reason they hired us in the first place is because we're the experts and they are not. We evaluate the needed refactor that puts the code in a decent state and put the time in the quote we provide the client. And even then we never create tasks or log time; when we find something that needs to be done, then our time is billed to the task relating to that issue.
