As there is no such precondition attached to it, you can avail the deduction, based on your interest certificate.
Only catch is, the deduction is available only after exhaustion of interest deduction u/s. 24(b), where such condition of 'pre-construction period' is attached.
Still, in my view, you can claim the deduction as soon as the construction gets completed.
