   Dan Brennan , chief operating officer and cofounder of Gladwyne Software Surety , a King of Prussia , Pa.-based risk management consulting company focusing on information technology , says it's common for IT project costs to burgeon beyond limits.
   
   Systems integrators working on an open-ended , time-and-materials basis rather than for a fixed fee have an interest in quoting low on a project and seeing the work grow as the project proceeds. They benefit by placing a veil of complexity over their work , he says.
   
   Brennan gives the example of a project Gladwyne worked on recently that involved a leading communications firm he wouldn't name. Originally , the integrator on the project came in with an estimate of $ 7.8 million for the work on a time-and-materials basis.
   
   Asked for an estimate of what the job would cost on a fixed-fee basis , however , the integrator returned in two days with a figure of $ 19.9 million.
   
   You can see why they go over budget on open-ended contracts , says Brennan.
   
   Even in fixed-fee contracts , there's a natural competitiveness between the system buyer and the provider , the consultant says. The buyer wants to get the most work and customization , he adds , and the integrator wants to claim victory and get out..
