"Back in the 1500s, the culture that we had built in the West embraced multigenerational projects quite easily. Notre Dame. Massive cathedrals were not built over the course of a few years, they were built over a few generations. People who started building them knew they wouldn't be finished until their grandson was born." -- Jamais Cascio

I don't think that (sensible) attitude was Western or Medieval, but pre-modern: large projects took time. the Egyptians and Greeks and Chinese were just as okay with that fact as the Burgundians, from what I know of history.
