You CAN discover almost everything, if the client wants to spend enough money, up front. Few do. Hopefully they are realistic and understand that if they didn't spend tons of money on the site investigation prior to the design, unforseen things will be dealt with in a sensible manner.
I don't pad my bid for "unknown items" but I also don't ream the owner for change orders. In fact, I hate change orders. I probably do a little more investigation during the bid process than just about anybody you know.
