I would have done this if you had given me a chance.=> third conditional, no possibility; conditional+perfect simple. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen. (http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verb ... onal_4.htm)
I would have been being done with the project if I had been given enough time on it.=> third conditional, no possibility; passive voice+conditional+perfect continuous. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen. (http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verb ... onal_4.htm) [This sentence can be written as, I would have done the project if I had been given enough time on it.]
