I'm looking for information that shows/quantifies the relative cost/impact of a scope change during each phase of a project. That is, to show in relative terms the later a change scope occurs the more expensive it is. I know I have seen results from a study or something a long time ago but can't find anything. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Impact of scope change on each project phase

Figure 2-1 on page 12 of PMI's 1996 "PMBOK" would allow you to draw an inference. While not the most current "PMBOK", it's a free download from pmi.org. If you're a PMI member, you can download the 2000 edition; it's on page 13 in that one.
I think I also remember seeing a chart that speaks more directly to your issue in Kerzner's "Applied Project Management" text.

Thanks Mainepe. Luckily I already had a copy of the PMBOK 1996. I'm still hoping for something more specific and quantitative. Unfortunately I haven't been able to locate a copy of Kerzner's book to check it out. I appreciate your help.
