My personal record for finally finishing a project is thirty years.

I'd started embroidering something for my friend Don, put it aside and didn't do any embroidery for a very long time. Luckily I didn't throw such things away. Some thirty years later I pulled the project out, finished it, and sent it to him. He was highly appreciative.
