Is this one of the longest running construction projects of all time?

  Not really. Plenty of churches have taken as long or longer to be built.

    In the current era though?

  Cathedrals (or technically in this case, a church) being built over decades or centuries is pretty common! This might be one of the quicker ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_Cathedral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_Cathedral took six centuries, although they started and stopped a few times.

    Fair but those projects didn't happen during the 1900s where i would expect them to take long times for procurement and build.

      While it took less time (a mere 74 years) Liverpool Cathedral is an example of a long-running 1900s project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Cathedral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Cathedral

        Great example. So with my qualifier Sagrada Familia might be the longest running modern day piece of construction. Also Liverpool is one impressively sized cathedral.

  I should add … in the modern era.
