Similar, though on a smaller scale. Our project was scheduled to run from
~September to November 2000, and it was fairly clear that we'd never make
it. After several delayed part-releases, we installed the final version last
Thursday and they now have six weeks to accept it and report bugs. We had
about 15-20 people at the height of the project (down to under about 8 now).

Ours is a toolbox for a virtual marketplace for a large banking
meta-organisation. So they can produce portal-like sites for their customers
(individual banks) "out of the box", just by clicking a few buttons and
configuring a few options.

We had one of the developers do that -- hadn't smoked for years, and started
again after a particularly stressful installation day.

And us :)
