   Whichever of the above guarantees is selected, it must provide that if the subdivision construction project or improvements are not completed in accordance with all applicable plans and specifications within the time period prescribed by these Regulations, then the full amount, as identified, shall immediately become due and payable to the City, or in lesser amounts from time to time, at the City's option, as may be required for completion according to the approved specifications and the City Engineer.
   For the purposes of this section, a project shall be deemed complete when 100 percent of the required improvements of the subdivision are installed, pursuant to the requirements of these Regulations, and approved by the City Engineer.
