It is the kind of contract where, at the risk of making a loss, you actually stand a chance of making some profit. If elvis had completed within a month he'd be well in the money. As it is, he just has to wait a little longer to get paid, and can spend the intervening period bringing in cash from somewhere else.
By charging by the hour you minimise the risk but you will never be able to use your skills to complete the project more efficiently and make your money more easily.
Don't you find it depressing to walk into work every day knowing that even if you spend that day coming up with the most groundbreaking ideas the world has ever known, and work 10 times more efficiently than ever before, it will never earn you more than the fixed meagre £x00 you'd have got by playing Minesweeper all day?
