Even in the US, when government really wants it, things happen super fast. Most of the time, the bureaucracy exists for the sake of bureaucracy. Things like sending documents by postal mail, reviewing for 2 months in a black hole, non-digital operations - all of these are absurd delays for no gain. They just exist with no desire from anyone to improve it.

In software projects I was often brought in by clients when the CEO realized they had fallen way behind competitors. What you would find was layers of process built over years as an immune response to any mistake ever made. No VP was willing to put their name on removing any part of that process because the upside was "things are 5% more efficient" and the downside was "Sheila removed the process and it broke, so she should be fired".
