Finishing is a construct, an escape. No project is ever done. There are always improvements to be made, bugs to be squashed. "Finished" is just a label we put on a place on the timeline, a point after which someone is morally allowed to jump ship.
Example: I'm in the middle of moving jobs (military to other military). I was given a couple weeks to train my replacement, an impossible task. My boss just asked me if I had "finished" training him. Um ... well .. I am leaving. So whatever training we are doing is certainly over. That is what "finished" actually is. Is the job finished? Certainly not. But my time as a contributor has come to an end and so I am finished with the task and am jumping ship.
