It is common in construction-contracting when offering value-engineering options or deductive change-orders to the customer to offer deducts less than your estimated value for the scope to be deducted.
I'm sure in the wider industry the practice not maliciously motivated, only intended to cover the cost of estimating, but this is rarely communicated to junior estimators and never to the customer. In my own experience with it while with my previous employer, it was only ever justified as "because we can, because they don't know".
