Is it common professional practice?

Okay, this kind of stuff has been bugging me for a while, humor me for a bit.

Is it commonly accepted in the professional art world to do things like 'lose' people's commission specs and re-request it several times?
Also, what about progress pics? I see a lot of fursuit makers that pose their finished commissioned works and often it seems like the customer is seeing it for the first time, based on their responce.
These two things are really common in the furry art world, and I'm just wondering if that's the way things work in the 'real world' too.
