E Correct answer
Explanation

'Take over' in this context means to require or consume an extended period, while 'take on' means to accept responsibility, and 'take in' or 'take along' don't convey temporal meaning. 'Nambiar took ages over the project' means he spent an extremely long time working on it. The idiom 'take [time] over' is less common but valid in this usage.
