Thanks for the info. I cannot do these projects until I reach level 24. I can't even see the point values for any building at this time; I'm guessing that kicks in at level 24 as well (I see area, boost, and price only).
Even now, however, I have a better sense of what these epic projects might be like. Sounds like a challenge!
On a side note, yes, I am familiar with the speed-up tokens. When I built the Dept. of Epic Projects (whatever that level was) I guess the game awarded some copper and silver tokens. I didn't notice at the time. I'm locked out of gold tokens and epic buildings until I level up. Right now I have a problem ticket in to EA. I won the grand prize this past contest, which included 5 gold tokens, and... I didn't get them! Hopefully, they'll fix that and give them to me.

As you move up they will give you speed up tokens at lv 16 (turtle), 20 (llama) and 24 (cheetah). I would highly suggest you do not use these for anything else besides your first Epic Project. Just save them and have them sit until you're ready to do you first epic. I didn't know any better and used them frivolously and took me way too long to get Epic projects going. When you're awarded the 4 cheetah tokens when you get to lv 24, don't use them until you're pretty confident that you can make it to 160. It will make it a whole lot easier.
I had to do it the hard way. I didn't even start epic projects until I hit Lv32 and was upside down on my storage with only a 190 capacity. I could only make Turtle the first time, so I ended up with 2 turtle buildings until I got my storage high enough that I could make 80. Then I ended up with 6 Llama buildings and couldn't make 160, so I kept increasing storage space. When I got close to 300 storage (actual count was 290) I got lucky by completing one of the bubble quests that awarded me 4 cheetah speedup tokens. Sorry, I don't remember which quest. I saved those for my next epic project and after stocking up on a lot of items before starting it, I made my first cheetah and used 3 of the 4 cheetah tokens during that time with 4 hours left on the clock.
It's only gotten easier since by continuing to increase storage capacity and saving Epic tokens for when they're really needed. My own opinion is that a storage capacity of 300 is the magic number needed to make cheetah. It can be done with less, but the more space you have the easier it becomes since you have more room to stock up.
When I stock up, I clear out my storage, land, beach and mountain items to have more space to store items.
