Yes. That's not a "no zombies present" modifier. It's the modifier for an easy task. Inventing shouldn't probably ever be easy or routine.

We can assume that the inventor who build the motor, it's his job (so it is for his assistants). You think the +4 don't apply in this case?

Building a motor of a commercially available type might be an ordinary job task for a mechanic and assistants.
Inventing a prototype motor of an unknown type, or as in your case reverse engineering a prototype based only on a description, isn't an ordinary job task. This is the sort of heroic effort that wins wars, makes fortunes, and changes the destiny of nations.

No, a skill 18 (or so) is what you want to
invent a new type of Complex device, not build one that's commonly available. Skill-18 also isn't "impossible to obtain". It's just difficult. If say a Micheal Farraday isn't the "best in the world" then who is?
