I just started a project that’s similar to others I’ve done for this editor, but with important differences. I completed the first chapter and sent it to him to review.
Why? If there is anything I’m not doing correctly, I want to know right now so I’m as efficient as possible when doing the remaining work, and especially so I don’t have to go back over the entire project to make corrections.
You should always do the same thing. Be sure you are doing exactly what your editor wants; it will save you time and frustration, and the editor is virtually guaranteed to be happy with your output.

Approval is of course always vital. That way you can do away with added delays and expense in the editing and unnecessary changes that may arbitrarily come up.
