9. This thing would take five years (at least) to be built properly

I'm not even really talking about the various approvals that would also be involved (which he's obviously not getting, but which likely take another five to ten years). An arch in the way he's talking about would be massive undertaking with the stone work, etc.. This will be shoddy as hell if he wants it done in 9 months.
