Speaking of breaking budgets. We have a carpenter in to convert an garage to an office. We’re making a lot of decisions as we go, and now when we’ve had a break over summer we’ve realised that a lot of the stuff that are described as “oh that’ll be quick” actually takes 2-3-4 days and adds quite a few hundred to the final cost. Get a few of those done (we have) and the budget is long gone.

Nah nothing really...
All architects felt we could do a full wrap around extension if we compromised on finish, which we were happy to do.
What we are ending up with is just a side return, but with a nicer finish (if we paired it back we would prob meet original budget).
In retrospect I am actually happier with the plan despite it being off original brief. The thing that confuses me is how all (and more) were confident the former could be done.
