"After" the T line is completed is a long way out. But it's not likely to be an end of subway construction, the metropolitan area keeps getting denser and there are areas that have grown far faster than the current subways can support (F and L lines for example). My guess is that there will be additions of stations every 10 to 15 years, and a major line constructed every 50-100 years.
But who knows, maybe there will be some major advancement in tunnel boring machines automating them even further that will cheapen and shorten the process. That would change things significantly.
