How it's used
Focuses specifically on the official completion of large scale projects like buildings, bridges, or infrastructure. It implies the project has reached a state of being ready for use or handover, rather than just the physical act of building. It is formal enough to appear in news reports but is also used in everyday conversation when discussing urban development.
Examples
This new shopping mall will be completed next month.
