under construction
Not yet complete
Under construction describes something currently being built or developed: The new library is under construction.
The phrase extends to anything incomplete or being revised—websites, plans, ideas: My thesis is still under construction.
It signals that something isn't finished and shouldn't be judged as a final product.
