When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

the time of major works/projects
great construction era/period/phase
The great construction era is over. We cannot rely on building our way out of trouble any more.
But the great construction period was over and the Marche was able to survive the architectural changes of the next few centuries relatively unscathed.

: Not very happy with the word order - the distinction between "great construction" and "great era/period/phase" should be clearer.

the era of great works
it's a literal translation, but one can hardly say it otherwise (unless someone can find a better expression)
