Lab experiments involve huge amount of support people who have to do really specific work for each experiment.
Scientists with grant proposals who are actually making substantial progress, just not enough to give us fusion in next 10 years. But that is also because the problem is really hard.
ISO generally allows only 5 year cycle. 3 years for C++ is a special case. Furthermore, the bureaucratic overhead will dominate the proceedings then (not unlike thread thrashing).
