An adjective borrowed from English meaning 'complete', 'finished', or 'completed'. It is often used in gaming, project management, or IT.
Mission complete! Wir haben alle Aufgaben erfolgreich erledigt.

'Complete' is an English loanword used almost exclusively in the jargon of video games, IT, or project management. In normal everyday life, it is uncommon.

This adjective is almost always used predicatively, e.g. 'Die Mission ist complete.' (The mission is complete), or as a stand-alone status term. Declining it before a noun, e.g. 'eine complete Aufgabe' (a complete task), is very rare and sounds unnatural.
Das Level ist jetzt complete.

Common combinations are fixed phrases from English, such as 'Mission complete', 'Level complete', or 'Download complete'.
Endlich! Level 10 ist complete.
Finally! Level 10 is complete.
complete / completely
Komplett is the usual German choice when a project has been completed in full. Complete has the same meaning here, namely finished or completed, but belongs to English-influenced technical language, for example in IT or project management. Outside such contexts, komplett is normally the better choice.
Im internationalen IT-Team gilt das Projekt jetzt als complete.
In the international IT team, the project is now considered complete.
Das Projekt ist jetzt komplett abgeschlossen.
