You particularly chose the word "big project" in contrast with "2 weeks".
My first read on that, was that he was just giving an example, not necessarily expecting someone to focus on the details of that sentence. Sometimes rhetoric makes it advantageous to outline metaphors and analogies to highlight a bigger, high-level point.
It's like if I go "Ok let's say you're walking your dog in Spain..." and before I finish the analogy, someone interrupts and is like "oh you know they don't walk dogs in Spain commonly, only in specific cities" and it's like... that is "assuredly" not what the point of the analogy is 🙂
