It’s never finished until you’re dead (and probably not then, either).
There’s always another change you can make, something for a fresh production. Something to shorten it a bit, make it fit another venue, to adapt it for a special cast.
You can, as the playwright, refuse to work on it any more, but that doesn’t mean that it’s finished. It just means that you’re finished with it.
