Anyone heard of this concept. Currently reviewing technical design documents which seem to talk a lot about them. Are they a 'thing' or is this just developer waffle.

They've been around for quite some time. They're a 'thing' in that they allow you to encapsulate different parts of your site in discrete components.

A web service can be almost anything. Generally speaking it's a web-based application (that is, it serves up content over HTTP) which is used to perform a service of some kind to other web-based applications.
For example, in the industry I work in, almost everything is a web-service. This is the way things are moving, especially with PCI compliance and security, you no longer have websites talking directly to databases so now web-sites talk to the application tier which in turn talks to the DB tier.Comment

These are adding a huge percentage onto estimates, what would the impact be of removing them on an average project? Could they be replaced with common libraries to reduce effort?Comment

Your questions don't make any sense really.
These are adding a huge percentage onto estimates,
what would the impact be of removing them on an average project?
It's not possible to answer that without seeing the design documents and specification.
Could they be replaced with common libraries to reduce effort?

20 fookin' files I had to check in there.
