Can we trade our slowpoke, political system for theirs just for 2-3-4-5 years?

Here in NJ, on river road heading towards New Brunswick, there is a stretch of the road that needed expansion. Total length was roughly 150m. Expansion includes adding one extra turning lane, and retrofitting some of the piping below the road, along with adding one more lane.
It took them 3 years!
So I doubt well get to that type of speed anytime soon.
Road construction in the U.S. takes way to long. And its not even being critical, it just takes a ridiculous time.
