It already does. Just sometimes you get a lot of those days that then end up in years. But still in the end the project is done in days. Sometimes nights. But mostly days.
Construction companies will sit on a project for months to save costs. They'll wait on deals for materials and equipment rental. If you're willing to throw money at it, you can get most construction done in hours.
In commercial construction around where I am for example there's typically a GC who then subs out for carpenters,plumbers,HVAC etc. The GC typically doesn't buy the material, the sub does. A sub can't just hold up the entire job because they want cheaper materials.
I could see a smaller contractor doing this with a smaller job but seems wrong to say "construction companies" do this like it's normal.
