A lot of tailoring would be needed, but with a sufficient team I don't think it's impossible, especially considering the work that was done on the Cross Channel map for Il-2.
It's probably a lot more complex to make sure everything fits, but bear in mind the BoB2 has a larger map IIRC with every road and landmark visible in 1940.

I can only imagine all the problems, issues, time and effort that goes into a map the size of the channel map, and how long it would take to build, populate and make look half way decent.... 3 years sounds pretty right from start to finish...
