Sometimes deliverables shift and scope needs to be expanded. How often do you expand the scope of existing/approved project? Every other project? Every 100th project? Never?

How often? As much as my stakeholders need and they approved the change request.

If only a project came wrapped with a neatly tied bow...

The important thing for the PM is to not react emotionally to requests. The PM needs to ensure he/she understands the change, that the exec sponsor agrees with it, then assess whether there is a cost/schedule/tradeoff impact. Remember to include the time to assess the impact in any preliminary estimate.

Again the PM needs to be rational and calm through the process.
