What is the benefit (if any) to the client in taking someone on for day rate rather than a quote / cost for the job? Good governance includes being open to scrutiny

Nothing.
Day rate allows them to milk it.
Get a price. Everyone knows where they stand before the job starts.

If it's a 2 day job and they finish in 1 3/4 days they can bill you for 2 days?

And so they should!
It’s more about 2 days becoming 3.
a large part of a job is just turning up, what’s the guy meant to do for 1/4 of the day?
