You mean to tell me that a company with many years experience in the business
can't do basic cost projections?  If so, that would suggest significant
problems at large.

Moreover, let's suppose that costs are elastic as the project progresses. 
Basic professionalism would not announce a price until the final cost is known.
 Just because you announce a new product, doesn't mean you must include a
price.

Yet, again, goes back to professionalism.

I once worked for a translation company that charged about 4 times more than
the competition.  The reason was that we used a multi-layered quality check
system that the others lacked.

There was no compromise on quality.  That meant that we often lost jobs when
clients did not understand the quality difference.  Then, we then got some of
them back after the cheap translation bit them.

The point is, our company knew what we were producing, how we were going to do
it, and how much it would cost (barring changes made by the customer, not us).

You have yet to explain how model production is different than any other
business.
