Hi new person! Consider rewording your inquiry to make it of more than diminutive value to subsequent readers. In answer to your question, consider complex.

Theodore, the system has flagged your question for deletion as "low-quality because of its length and content." To avoid its deletion, could I suggest you edit it by adding more detail - e.g. context (what kind of project: engineering? welfare?) and a sentence showing how you'd use the word. For further guidance, see How to Ask and take the Tour :-)

Could be "boondoggle", but that has negative connotations. Alternatively, "tar baby" might be a colloquial term that would fit, that that implies a project that one is unlikely to complete (like a trap).
"Rube Goldberg machine" could be used to describe something with many moving and interconnected parts, usually extraneous.
"A slog" would refer to a project that requires a large amount of long-term effort.
