How often do people turn in their major projects early? When do construction projects finish on time? People work to build the strongest case they can and always work up to the deadline. If you fire off too early, you may have missed some important detail. Learn to be patient.

I like completing my work projects early.

Depends how you define complete. Imagine they set up their base argument and had one chance to get it right. Well, they could submit their base argument early or take the time to ensure that everything is put together the best it could be for the strongest case possible in that allotment of time.

Say you complete a work project early and you turn it into your boss early. But there are mistakes in it. That reflects more poorly than if you brought it up to the wire.

Parkinson's law is the adage that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". I believe this is true.
