perhaps, but it seems to me that the thing STILL needs to be completed and that the idea behind it is, therefore, a longstanding one. plus you've already got "straordinario" immediately after, so i'd be inclined not to overdo it from the point of view of superlatives.

Asker: Hi Pauley, you don't think "storica" here could mean something like "grandiosa"?

la storica ideazione dello straordinario progetto
the unprecedented/revolutionary/pioneering project/invention


Explanation:
storica is used here to say epochal, and "storica ideazione" is redundant with "straordinario progetto", so I'll make them one and I'd definitely get rid of all this overwhelming megalomanic stuff
