my sc status showing completed

"Completed" means the vetting agency have finished with it: for good or bad you won't actually know. The paperwork is now back with your local security team, whoever they may be, and it's up to them to move the process forwards. It can't be outside the wit of man for someone to ask them if you're SC is good, even if it hasn't all gone though the paper mill, or, more importantly, if it's a refusal
However you can't do anything about it other than go with whatever the client wants. If that means BPSS - presumably to get you on site but under supervision and with some limits on what you can see - then at least you'll be earning.
As a partial aside, the vetting agency won't be able to tell you the results of their work, that goes back to the local team who make the final decision. Hence the backlog: these are not normally very dynamic people...

This would be the last thing that I would be worried about - do you have sufficient funds to tide you over for up to 8 weeks after starting (before you get paid)?

In December 2017 I completed my SC online via my contract role sponsor.
A couple of weeks ago I logged on to my UK SV portal and the application status had moved from in Progress to Completed. Does this mean my SC has been granted?
However the sponsor are still waiting for the certificate to be issued and the ONR have told them that there is a massive backlog and might take some time. In the meantime the sponsor are happy to start me on a BPSS until the SC is issued.
My worry is that they want me to hand in my notice period at my permanent job and start me on a BPSS with no SC certificate been issued. I am worried if it all goes tits up and SC is not issued.
Any advice from anyone been in the same boat.
Cheers,
Gary.

Unless you think there may be a real reason you won’t get clearance. Then don’t worry.
Also someone asked almost the same question a while ago with regard to the status on the portal compared to the client saying you’re cleared. So have a search.
