Ask How do you communicate delays or problems to a client without losing their trust?

[Edward22]

Most clients are not unreasonable when things go wrong, but how you tell them makes a big difference in how they react. Waiting too long or giving vague reasons usually makes things worse than just being upfront early. A clear explanation with a new timeline and a plan to fix the issue tends to go further than any apology. How do you usually handle it when something goes wrong during a project, and has it affected your working relationship?
