I don't know, your problem statement doesn't allow me to formulate an answer. I suspect whatever the project, it can be split into a series of more manageable chunks.
Oh, to clarify: I don't believe in Scrum's "you must be able to release to the customer at the end of each iteration". That's a piece of fiction that I think almost nobody believes in anymore.
It still makes sense to have intermediate deliverables for internal milestones though.
