I think {ba'o} by itself would not indicate completion. We have for the
termination point itself the three possibilities:

mo'u broda (completion)
de'a broda (non-completion)
co'u broda (indeterminate for completion)

I would say {ba'o mo'u broda} is the situation after completion,
{ba'o de'a broda} is the situation after ceasing without completion,
and {ba'o co'u broda} = {ba'o broda} is not determined either way.
