I'm not sure they are doing that much better than the US. The completion date for this bridge is (currently) estimated at 2029. Fun sequence of sentences from its wiki page... "and the tunnel idea received support from a large majority of the Danish parliament in January 2011. By 2012, therefore, the completion date had been pushed back to 2021, and in 2014 was estimated to be 2024, and then in 2015 delayed further to 2028. In 2020 it was delayed to 2029." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fehmarn_Belt_Fixed_Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fehmarn_Belt_Fixed_Link

Well, the 2nd Ave subway was first proposed in 1920. It only took them a hundred years to build the first section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Avenue_Subway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Avenue_Subway

  I absolutely love to complain about the 2nd Ave Subway, but it's worth noting that the "100 year" figure includes ~50 years of NYC mostly just promising to build the line. Actual construction began in the 70s, and was subsequently suspended for another 20 years because of the city's poor finances. So that gets us closer to a merely ludicrous 30-50 year construction timescale instead of an egregious 100 year one.
