One of my former clients was great about this. He'd send things to me, but whenever I wanted to make a change, he would always call to discuss the reasoning.

He knew the risks and benefits of doing or not doing the thing and could evaluate whether it was appropriate for the specific project. He saved a lot of money that way.
