Once your project is up and rolling, a serious landmine is "mission creep". Increasing the scope of a project from what was originally planned can wreak havoc on both the calendar and the budget.
The hardest part of managing changes in scope is recognizing what requests can be accommodated- changing the color of the GUI shouldn't be a big deal, changing the GUI itself is- and which ones are deal breakers.
Defining the limits of the project to all the stakeholders at the beginning can go a long way in producing a project that everyone is happy with.
