What if you have really passive team members? So somebody need to digest the big project into smaller pieces and assign people to them, you can't just throw the project and expect it to go smoothly. If you don't it will take extra 2-3 months to start things up. I suspect in your case the team is motivated and experienced and/or there are some engineering leads in the team who can do that instead.
