That also means you have a pretty onerous process in place that will bring all forward motion to a halt.  I'd go so far as to say that if you think you need 200 people for your project, go outside and light $100 bills on fire instead.  It will burn less money, and annoy fewer people.

It would be interesting to know if anyone can cite a real world example
of someone who thought that a software project could be accomplished by
a team of 200 people, and it actually turned out to be true.
