Russian term or phrase: многостадийность
Основным недостатком данного способа является его многостадийность

It's obvious what it means, but how to say it??

It's main drawback is that it involves going through several stages?

I'd love to be able to say 'multi-stageness' but is it really a word? (3,500 Google hits but so what?)
