start_date ? start of planning?, construction? occupation?
completion of planning? construction? occupation?
built_data ... is fairly simple. I like simple and plain. It would need more
words for structures that have several 'additions', 'refurbishments', etc ..
but the meaning is more apparent than start_date and completion_date.

Wouldn't it make much more sense to use start_date for the starting date, and
completion_date for the completion date?

but how to handle buildings which where finished after two/three
centuries ?
start_date according to the wiki is the completion date, or the date
when the feature became active. FWIW, buildings very often get
extended, changed, even rebuild, especially those that lasted for
centuries. We don't have an exact method to store this information in
OSM (and doing it would probably go beyond our scope and methods, even
a single wall will often be of different periods). You must see
start_date as an approximate method to give some indication (I
suggest to use the oldest start date in cases where the building has
undergone several building phases, or maybe the most significant if
nothing of the oldest building can be seen)
