I wonder if that belongs to the owner of the last company I worked for? He was the "King of the Change Orders."
It was uncommon if he didn't end up with at least double the bid by the time he was through milking change orders.

Small boat - Original Contract
Big boat - Change Order

Seems clear to me and very funny...

Sorry why is that funny?

a change order is a change in the scope of work for a project that has already been bid on and won by a contractor

For example in construction, a contractor may underbid a poorly engineered project knowing they can overcharge on change orders made later. There isn't much room to negotiate, as the project may be halfway done or at a critical stage, making change orders very profitable.

Thank you for the clarification, but I'm yet to see humour in the name.

Nice explanation.

And the name is funny, after all. ;)

That is funny. I guess working for a construction company allows me to enjoy that joke a bit more.
