We then developed RemoteInterview.io Tests [1]. It's a screening platform based on coding tests where candidates solves the challenge in offline mode whenever they want. Some candidates still don't like to have time limits but I personally think it is important to have a deadline for every task because in real-world, no project can have infinite time.

But considering this is not the peak time in North America, it's should be little less.
Make separate milestones for QA and UAT rounds.
Breaking the project in very small but presentable milestones helps in keeping non-technical clients updated and happy.
Also, committing code multiple times a day with meaningful comments also helps.
During the project, if you realize that your estimates were originally wrong, fix it asap and communicate immediately. Frequent communication is the key.
