Well, there is the ITER nuclear fusion reactor project. It was planned in the 70ies, construction started in the 90ies, projected construction-finish will probably be around 2025 and the first projected long-term-stable plasma will probably be achieved around 2035. OK 60 years is not 200, but this still is far longer than any other contemporary infrastructure building I can think of.
