the last 10% of any project takes 90% of the time

This is somewhat how it is with a building too. As a building nears completion the details such as installing wires in conduit, finishing off plumbing installation, painting, trim carpentry do not impact the overall picture in big dramatic visual ways so the client always thinks there is nothing happening when we get to this point.
