You can remind him that you're the only one with experience in this. If he doesn't want you to build it, then he takes FULL responsibility for any screwups, because you, the experience, won't get involved by his request. In short, give him exactly what he wants. If he gets in over his head, then he has to ask you to come back onto build (oh, and you should accept that invitation when it comes).

Oh, and talk to a team mentor--you may want an arbitrator if this comes up in future, and I think that might be better than posting to an open forum.

The reason I am posting in open forum is to try and seek outside help, mainly because of the god worship status he has with many of the team members (reasons unknown to me), so they can be impossible to talk to about it.
I would automatically get blamed for screw-ups if he did, so its a Catch-22.
