Would you imagine the same thing when you heard these or do they somehow mean different things? Thanks!

1. It's called the FCC, the Future Circular Collider, which, of course, you have to change after you finish it.

It's from here. I'm wondering about the choice of "after they've built it" and if "after they finish it" would make a difference.

No, he means the name will change after it is built/finished.

No, he means the name will change after it is built/finished.

I'm sorry, what does your "no" mean here? Do you mean that "after they finish it" instead of "after they've built it" wouldn't make a difference in meaning there? Did I understand correctly?

 

[Tarheel]

You asked if it would make a difference whether "built" or "finished" was used there.

@Tarheel To be fair to the OP, that wasn't the question. It was whether there's a difference between "when you finish it" (present tense to refer to the future) and "when you've built it" (present perfect to refer to the future). The OP didn't give "finished" as an option.

It's from here.

@GhotiO |fɪʃ| Please try to avoid making us click on an external link to get to the source. Post #1 should have had "Source: YouTube video "What's really happening at CERN" by Cleo Abram" directly under the quote. I have added it for you.

There is no difference in meaning, in this context, between "after you finish it" and "after you've built it".
