You're a junior. You have everything to gain from this.
They are stakeholders. They have everything to lose from trusting someone without much experience.
You're smart for accepting it. Do the best you can, learn, and if anything goes south - you can always leave with the gained experience.
They are stupid. Because in the unlikely event that you'll fail, and they'll get asked why it failed, they won't be able to blame everything on the dev, because it's them who tasked a junior dev to do it. -
still, cover your ass somehow, document everything and have everything on paper.
And if you can, ask for a freelancer who helps you with this project. If not hire one your self on upwork.com -
@heyheni i'm trying as much as i can to write clean code and document everything i do. but i don't want to give work to someone else becuase it's their fault to give me such a big project. i've specifically told them in the interview that i don't have much experience so i could need a senior to guide me.

So recently I got a new job in a respected creative agency with a good salary. FYI, I am a junior web dev with merely 2 years of experience. Office and everything is great about the job except the job itself. The senior dev have left the agency before I came and now they expect me to build a fucking transnational crm web application all by myself. And the deadline is in 6 weeks which only 4 left now. I don't want to believe that how they fucking give a junior dev such a big web project to build. In the beginning I wanted to resign but then I decided to build it. I have some difficulties but I think I'll manage to finish it. Just wanted to share how fucked up my current situation is. Fuck the managers btw.
