There could be several reasons why you're unable to load your project on the Expo app and receiving the message "This is taking much longer than it should":

1. Network issues: The most common reason for this error message is a network issue. Your device may not be able to connect to the internet or may have low internet speed. Check your internet connection and try again.

2. Proxy server: If you're using a proxy server, it can interfere with the network connection and cause this error. Try disabling the proxy server or using a different network.

3. Outdated Expo app: If you're using an outdated version of the Expo app, it may not support the latest features of your project. Update the app and try again.

4. Large project size: If your project is large, it may take longer to load on the Expo app. Wait for a few minutes to see if it eventually loads.

5. Server overload: Expo servers may sometimes experience overload due to high traffic or maintenance activities. Try again later when the server load is lower.

If none of the above solutions work, try restarting your device or uninstalling and reinstalling the Expo app.
