uncompleted vs unfinished

an uncompleted building

an unfinished building

My guess is :

An uncompleted building is a building that has not been built completely.

An unfinished building is a building that is being built and not finished yet.

Can I use few words to distinguish them?

For example:

I want to express the meaning of an uncompleted building of which the construction is not over due to financial factor or other factors.But it's too long a sentence.

I'm not sure what your problem is, Hly. Both unfinished building and uncompleted building describe a building whose 'construction is not over due to the financial factor or other factors'.
