(a) Except as limited by this section, the governing body of the municipality may change plans, methods, contracts, or other proceedings relating to improvements.
(b) The governing body may not make a change that substantially affects the nature or quality of the improvements unless the governing body, by a two-thirds vote, determines that it is impractical to proceed with the improvements as proposed.
(c) If a substantial change is made after a hearing has been ordered or held, a new cost estimate and a new hearing with proper notices is required unless the improvement is totally abandoned.
(d) A change in or an abandonment of improvements requires the consent of any person who has contracted with the municipality for the construction of the improvements.
(e) If improvements are abandoned, the municipality shall pass an ordinance that cancels any assessments already levied for the improvements and that cancels any other proceedings relating to those improvements.
