We need to spend time before the project training our clients/managers that changes will have consequences. Then when they come with changes, which they will come with changes, don’t worry about deciding for them, just give them the fully loaded amount of work that it will take to CORRECTLY do the change (including refactoring). If you trained them correctly they should realize that the closer to the completion of the project the more impact that change will have. @Point 2
