What I've found is that the bigger the client/budget the more they're likely to accept the difference between utilising existing solutions and fresh development. There also seems to be a law of inverse proportions. The smaller the client the more they expect out of a given budget. I could give examples but have no wish to embarrass existing clients. :) Laying out the ground rules beforehand seems to be the only way to circumvent the issue of development costs - along with the attendant risks of losing the client because they simply don't want to pay for what they're getting. But maybe that's another issue? Couldn’t agree more.
