Sadly, when it comes to contracts, that gets boiled down in most customers' minds to: "Vendor only commit to delivering buggy and incomplete software". It's a hard sell for most types of projects, even if it's the actual reality of most projects.

You sell a small portion, for the same smaller price tag. Then when the deadline comes, the customer checks to see if you delivered, and decides to continue the contract or find somebody else.
So the customer can have assurances that they aint gonna be bogged down with sunk costs. The developer can have more frequent deliveries.
