"more" is not a usual sort of quality, I can't answer your grammar
wuestion directly, but if you like to avoid it, you could make two phrases:
"the time to do this mission is much more than the time we have"
{poH law' natlh Qu'vam. poHvetlh wIghajbe'.}
or combine these:
{poH'e' wIghajbe'bogh poQ Qu'vam}
But why do you want to use {qu'} anyway?
