I would first question the client as to why the design preferences were shifted. A lot of the times clients see something that they think will be better, force their opinion through (and a lot of the times nobody will really argue with the client - "client is always right!") and be disappointed when they turn out to be wrong. A good consultation with the client will help deepen my understanding of the client's wants and needs and will help me build the product to fully satisfy my client. A good practice also is to make a lot of sample projects that differ a little and see what the client has to say about them. Then, based on their preference, continue on working with the project picked by the client.
