This suggests you still view completion as a process, and not a state.  Completion cannot
be "partly" accomplished.  And the relavant time reference is {wa'leS}.  "As of tomorrow,
I will have changed it again."  As of tomorrow, my act of changing it again will be
accomplished (intentionally).

At the time indicated by {wa'les} (tomorrow), the action will be completed.  It need not
"accomplish" that state at that time, it may be completed today, or it may already be
completed, it doesn't matter.

> {-ta'} does not preclude the action being right now, the {wa'leS} does that.

All the {wa'leS} does is indicate that, at that point in time, the action is completed.
The action could occur now, or yesterday, or whenever, so long as it's completed by
{wa'leS}.

At least we agree on that.
