inglés term

"when remodeling is complete."

inglés al español Negocios/Finanzas Finanzas (general) online course on how to cash checks
The context is that of a financial, banking, check deposit kind.

The sentence in which this appears is the following:

The check must be payable on demand or at a definite time. Generally, unless the check is post-dated, it is payable on demand. A check would not meet this requirement if it were written to be payable at some indefinite time, such as "when remodeling is complete."

What I have come up with so far is the following:
El cheque debe ser pagadero a la vista o en un tiempo definido. Generalmente, a menos de que el cheque sea fechado después, es pagadero a la vista. El cheque no cumpliría este requisito si fuese emitido para ser pagadero en un tiempo indefinido, como por ejemplo “cuando la remodelación se ha completado”.

I assume there has to be a more accurate term for "when remodeling is complete"

Thank You!

USE OF SUBJUNCTIVE @Dominique: The version you came up with is grammatically incorrect. You must use the subjective here, namely, "se haya.....". Besides, as pointed out by Juanpablosans, you may want to use a verb like "concluir" o "terminar" to translate "complete". "completar" is, IMHO, not the best option here.
Juan Pablo Sans Dec 24, 2011:
according to what I understand, it means when some remodelling is complete. Maybe the check is to be paid when the remodelling of your house is completed. Is it not-

cuando concluya la remodelación

I am not sure, but according to the context, we are talking about an X event that has to be completed before the check is paid

Gracias Mónica. Felices Pascuas a ti también
agree Giovanni Rengifo : I thought about suggesting "se concluya" or "se termine" here, but your version and interpretation are correct.
