The converse argument to my 'lead time' post is the importance of actually doing something. Many projects are good idea going nowhere. If you want your good idea to go somewhere, you need the project to get underway. The purpose of your lead time is to make appropriate preparation for the project. If the project never happens due to indefinite lead time, you have wasted your time.
If you are concerned that the project is too big, and that is holding you off from starting, you might want to consider the potential for a pilot trial (a little implementation that mimics the actual project outcome), or starting the first few activities, if you are confident that you will learn enough to continue the project. Do this with caution, as projects can gain a momentum of their own that is unrelated to the relevance or value of the outcome.
