Best practice
Use the phrase "completion of" instead of "completion on" for grammatical correctness. For example, instead of "nearing completion on the project", write "nearing completion of the project".
Common error
Avoid using "on" after "completion". It's a common mistake to say "completion on [something]" when the correct preposition is "of". This error can make your writing sound unprofessional.
