Cosmic Exploration progression is poorly handled

Sure,

But realistically it is quite impossible to account for several timezones, for several different activity levels, for several months all while sharing a cohesive progression check, and making sure no one misses out on any step.

I'd love to see a good example in any MMO that has achieved such a task while accomodating all of these variables. Do you have one or are we now just asking SE for the impossible?

Doman enclave restoration. You start at 0, and through a weekly task get to see all the stages and see the enclave get slowly restored.
Just copy that at a bigger scale.
