I'm currently writing a report on time-performance / delays in projects. I'm including some anecdotal examples of projects that were massively delayed, but for the sake of balance, I would like to include some examples of projects that were delivered before time, not just a couple of months, but significantly. Any examples, and hopefully some documentation (literature or internet links) would be much appreciated.

I have used this book on a number of occasions and am sure you will find it very helpful
I was part of a EU project which implemented a pipeline for multimedia objects from European Natural History museums to the European Digital Library EUROPEANA (see https://dx.doi.org/10.3897%2Fzookeys.209.3179). The core deliverable of the project was to have 1 million multimedia objects accessible via EUROPEANA after 3 years. We achieved this after 2 years already. The main reason was the use of existing software components which worked really well for this purpose.
