Heh, funny but not that long time (started in 2006, planned to be finished by 2020), while Sagrada Familia (here in Barcelona) started at 1882 and after stopping/starting/stopping forever, it's not estimated to be finished by 2026–2028 (so about 140 years, if accurate).

That's not too bad. A lot of old cathedrals would take multiple generations to build...Notre Dame for example took over 200 years to build.
