Not sure about 'client' here - if *your* client is an archaeological contractor who has agreed a price with the commissioning body, then they will want the best/quickest, not the cheapest. After all, this is why it's so hard for graduates to get started- because everybody knows that they will achieve only a fraction of the useful work that an experienced digger would.
On the invoice front, the terms are what you agree - if you agree to wait until they are paid, that's up to you. I would only sign such terms if I didn't need the money anytime soon.
