That's a little too long for laying tracks and electrical lines.

Although even in the Italian city I take for reference, Bologna, construction of line 1 started in 2023 and is expected to ~~finish~~ complete in 2026. If it was a private company with no external contract awarding, it sure wouldn't take this long.

Belgian here. Our ex PM's two brothers have been caught printing fake money in connection with the cosa nostra. It may help to explain our tenancies to have never ending public work. Embezzlement doesn't help not to overrun delays and budget.

Rail infrastructure projects can take decades. Land acquisition alone can take 10 years.

These project can be sped up massively if there is prior land available to use as rail. For example a road or street, too bad we don't have those.

This is after planning and awarding. It's 3 years just for phisical construction.
