Does the cathedral of of St John the Divine in New York count? Planning started in 1887, construction began in 1892, the first services were in 1899 (in the crypt!), the cathedral was fully open in 1941, construction was disrupted by the war, and construction was continued in 1979, with the last scaffolding removed in 2007.

Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is another (even more famous) example. Started in 1882 and still is under construction (current completion estimation is 2032).
