Also few users are completely ignorant about the actual process of software development and they tend to start adding many things to be done within the fixed cost proposal and quick time.

Another factor to consider when calculating the costs of outsourcing a software problem is how quickly the problem can be resolved by outsourcing as opposed to handling the problem in-house. This will depend on the capabilities and availability of the in-house staff. If there is not a capable staff member available it may take significantly longer to handle the problem in-house.
