I am wanting to convey this sentence:
This year marks the end of the 4 year long 'Environmental Protection Victoria' project.
I have looked online to no avail, can anyone tell me if '4 year long' in this context is grammatically correct? Or if an alternate such as '4 year-long' or '4 yearlong' is better? The sites I've checked online all refer to yearlong (singular), but I'm wondering if the spelling is different when we're talking about multiple years. Thanks.
Answer
In this case, it would be "4 year-long." If the sentence was along the lines of "The 'Environmental Protection Victoria' project was four years long," it wouldn't be hyphenated.
