It’s a few hours before my flight and the team still hasn’t decided how many days we’re going to be on-site this week. I guess I’ll just pack as much as my carry-on fits then...

SM1 you really just had to add that last part didn't you? Smh, probably can't help it.

5 days on road and you can expense laundry

Why don’t you just have the hotel dry clean an outfit if it turns out you need to stay longer?

On recurring gigs, I drop everything off at launder/cleaner and retrieve it the next Monday. I leave my bag at hotel, so I never mess with luggage or carryon.

You’re allowed to wear the same clothes in a week. However, pack extra socks and underwear because those take a while to hang dry (or maybe you won’t need to hand wash them at all).
