Explanation / Answer

Coflict may be more when cost will overrun, we have seen that in most of the project cost overrun happens that is due to inability of the consultant. Payment will be cost+fee so the extra cost will be burden upon the owner not the consultant so ,in this spehere consultants do not use financial prudence.
