After completion

My comment:

I would understand this to be a clause agiant having second thoughts after the contract is completed; like "or raising reservations once the works have been completed"

eventual completion

My comment:

My Collins Robert gives apres coup as 'afterwards/after the event'.I think it makes sense here to turn the phrase into an adjective,if you are keeping the 'realisation' as a noun,hence 'eventual(or 'subsequent' perhaps) completion.
