As for buildings, each level takes longer to complete. A higher level of "homes" technological research causes the construction of other buildings to proceed more quickly. Higher level Military academy or Arms industry facilitate quicker recruitment of troops. It is not unusual for some actions to take hours, perhaps even days, to complete.
