None of these words have exactly the same meaning as perfect storm, but they might suffice. Debacle and fiasco both mean a complete (and humiliating) failure: debacle. NOUN. A sudden and ignominious failure; a fiasco. ‘the only man to reach double figures in the second-innings debacle’.
Relatedly, "complete" can be used as a synonym to "finished", meaning there is no further work remaining to be done. Example 1: In programming, comprehensive utilities are usually referred as "frameworks", and focused utilities are usually referred to as "libraries." Either of these could be complete (offer applicable functionality) or incomplete.
This task is incomplete and This task is not complete have the same meaning. However, All tasks are incomplete usually means that each and every task is incomplete, while All tasks are not complete usually means that some tasks may be complete, but not all of them are. –
