In short, No!
Once a proposal has been forwarded by a freelancer and accepted by a Hirer, any funds for that specific project will be ‘locked’ in the project escrow account. Neither the Hirer, nor the freelancer can withdraw or change the funds without the approval of the other party.
However, after the commencement of a project, the Hirer may ask the freelancer to deliver more work than was initially agreed. In this case, both parties MUST first agree to the extra work(s) and any additional payments for that work. The freelancer must then request additional deposit payment through the Project Workstream, and the Hirer must then agree to and release additional funds to the project, accordingly.
