Couple that with telemedicine that temporarily gets reimbursed by a value equivalent to an in-office visit. Given that Rush has already invested in this project, and it's only going to be a money sink for them to keep it vacant, not to mention generating zero revenue, I just don't understand why they wouldn't complete the interior build out.

Heck, if the interior build out takes us until some time in 2021 then that's even more reason to proceed as planned, as most people expect that the pandemic will be (mostly) in our rear view mirror by then.

They have no money to start the interior buildout until early 2021. They are laying off 200 upper management folks to stay semi-solvent.
