I was just reading about the fact that Ben Franklin had a trust fund

 That makes me wonder what was the slowest plan that has ever been
successfully carried out according to schedule.

Longplayer is a very long piece of music by British composer and musician Jem Finer which is composed to play for 1000 years without looping. It started to play at midnight on 1 January 2000, and if all goes as planned, it will continue without repetition until 31 December 2999.
I got to this after looking up John Cage's "As Slow as Possible".

Which is, apparently, only the second longest piece of music.
