I just ran a test.
Empire Alpha - 6,000 intel points spent on 5,000 point attack that should finish every turn.
Empire Beta - 8800 intel points on CI-3 that shouldn't finisih for 57 turns.
Here are the turn by turn results:
1. Empire A fails; Empire B's CI project has 5.4 years to go
2. Empire A fails; Empire B's CI project has 4.3 years to go
3. Empire A fails; Empire B's CI project has .4 years to go
4. Empire A fails; Empire B's CI project has 0 years to go
