When your architecture team discovers a major design error mid-project

Our architecture team won the contract for a major mixed-use development, but three months in we discovered our structural calculations have a fundamental error that would require redesigning the entire foundation system, and we haven't told the client yet because we're all terrified of losing the project and what it would mean for our firm's reputation. We keep having meetings where we talk around the problem instead of facing what we need to do.
