It all depends on the complexity of the project. It if a Master Bedroom Suite Addition....I would say don't worry about it. If it was a 60+ story building I might check to see if you client stole your architectural stamp...
+1 gruen. I've had clients say this, and usually count it as a clear indicator I did a great job involving them in the process. Take it as a compliment.
Success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan. As long as you got paid, take it as a compliment. What else can you do?
If something goes wrong because of your design, believe me, they will suddenly decide that it was all your doing. Hmmmmm, I wonder if their claiming credit would work as a defense in a lawsuit? (No such luck)

Client takes credit for design
What do architects or designers usually say when a client tends who claims that he designed the work himself.
The best architect I've ever known always kept this quote pinned to the bulletin board over his desk:
"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." Harry S. Truman
Tell him what a great job he did as you hand him your invoice.
Don't worry about it. Let them design it themselves when they get the next project. ;) It'll come back bite their ass hard.
