Why do you assume it takes that long? Are you assuming US circumstances?

That's how long they actually end up taking to build.

Look up the project history of your local NPP and see how long it was from planning approval to putting power on the grid.

It says it took 60 months on average. I guess from approval, it often took 8 years, so a decade makes sense.
