    I wouldn't ever start a contract with an unknown duration.

    Even if it gets terminated or similar, at least you have a idea of what's going to happen.

    Get the contract updated.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

      Nonsense. You're there to do a job. Once the job is done, you leave. When that happens is irrelevant. Any other attitude makes it very difficult to claim you're outside IR35.

        I'd be more worried that the lack of a defined end date would also cloud the issue of whether you expected the contract to last less than 24 months, which could rob you of all travelling and subsistence expenses.

          No it doesn't, only the tax relief on them. Not that it would anyway; what is your "reasonable expectation" of the duration?
