A lot of that 4 years is down time, my friend. Why is there down time? Just waiting for the budget to release more dollars. 4 years is fast for government work, but for the private sector, it's quite a while.
Which means it could take 6 or 8 years. But OP said the whole thing could be done in 6 months and I say it's not possible, no matter who's in charge or where the money is coming from. My little breakdown had 6 steps. Impossible to each of them in a month.
