If so, then the work has not been done and the customer likely will not be using Lenhart. The 15 minutes is significant because that seems like an awfully short period of time for the estimate to have changed.
Kudos to the company for updating the estimate before performing the work and charging the customer more than he expected to pay.
On the positive side, now the customer will get additional estimates. It's possible he will find that $900 is not out of line.

Seemed simple enough to understand for me as well.
And, not knowing how far from the panel the OP wanted the outlet located, there could be several reasons why the initial estimate changed.
