He's an activist. His objective is to affect change in the system, not to get something built. Trying to build something is the pretext for a lawsuit that aims to change the system. The proper comparison is comparing his method of activism to other methods of activism.
If he simply wanted to build something fast, then he'd bribe whoever needs bribing and nothing would change.

We can have separate opinions about whether Tillman's efforts were good versus whether he's a good illustrative example the obstacles in the system.
