You can seee the results of completion rates for a 10-15K line project
done in both C and Ada in my Real-Time Embedded Systems class over the
past 20 years.  The class runs for one semester (15 weeks).  The
bottom line is that NO student team ever completed the minimal project

project.  My latest publications on the matter are
