You could say that about basically anything: it only takes one or two passionate people to [write a great novel, build a house, invent something new, prove a scientific theory, advance the field of mathematics] in a matter of weeks.

Those are rare and impressive exceptions, it's not so simple in practice. The Mythical Man Month has some good insight on this. Big projects cost big money, and don't necessarily get the job done faster.
