Abschluss mainly refers to the end of a task or process. Vervollständigung, on the other hand, emphasizes that nothing is missing afterward. If only finishing is important, Abschluss fits; if the focus is on adding all the missing parts, Vervollständigung is more appropriate.
Zur Vervollständigung der Aufgabe ergänzte Mia noch die fehlenden Angaben.
To complete the task, Mia added the missing information.
Nach dem Abschluss der Aufgabe machte Mia eine Pause.
