A more formal change is really necessary.

I'm talking about the project plan. It should be far more detailed than a contract and should cover all the functionality and make sure that it will operate according to the customer's needs. It should also make changes like this unnecessary and if they do come up, it should require adjusting the project plan and re-approval (and cost adjustment) based on the additional work required.

What they asked was indeed a minor change in a huge app. Doing minor change caused lot of changes to the structure of the app which took lot of time. This used to happen frequently. There is no miscommunication. But the problem was dealing with changes frequently as the client insisted.
