Ideally, you just let go of the whole concept of 'sprints' and just go for some form of kanban with a continuous flow of work together with CI/CD so you continuously deliver. For me personally 'sprints' is just an 'in between' to a full CI/CD flow. Unfortunately, very few companies are willing to make this jump, even though you will deliver more value for less money.

It's always hard to get clients to understand that all that's going to happen if you ask for fixed timelines is that you're going to get overinflated estimates and shitty software. I'm not saying that you should not be able to give a ballpark idea of when things are done, but everything beyond that is overhead.
