Having sent out my proposal for an environmental report for a new chicken farm in the far Negev, I was informed that the neighboring chicken project had paid eight times of the money asked by me for the same report. And I thought I was asking too much. I am mad.

Just sell it over and over again to different parties.
Anon.
it cannot be done because the reports are approved by different regulatory officers. In one farm, the local environmental unit approved it with no questions, in another farm the report went to the desk of another officer who sent it to the national ministry level in Jerusalem and they are demanding all kind of crazy information and models and estimates of future events. I have the feeling that the Ministry is paying to the professor it hired to criticise my report much more than I am going to be paid (if the report is approved) for writing it and running the model on the computer. Crazy.
Just tell people what they want to hear; they will like you a lot more.
As for future projections, make them up; it's quicker. Who can verify projections about the future? Who worries about the future? Have you forgotten everything you learned in South America?
In the West, the future doesn't even exist.

Maybe your price was reasonable and the other guy massively overcharged.
(NIS)5,000 = US$1,335.01
(NIS)40,000 = US$10,680.05

Ronduck, What is reasonable? I want to overcharge too.
Regarding future projections, everybody knows that it is made up, but the regulators want to be cover their asses and if challenged (by another bureaucrat) to have the mathematical model to show. They will never use it, but they just want to have it. They need to appear as strict enforcers of the regulations. That is their raison-d'etre, to enforce regulations. If they dont do that, what are they? Nothing.
