"I have completed" is active (I did something.), but it's not a complete sentence. You need an object after "completed". I have completed the report. "I have been completed" is passive (Something has been done to me.), but it's not a good sentence.
The past perfect, also called the pluperfect, is a verb tense used to talk about actions that were completed before some point in the past. The past perfect tense is for talking about something that happened before something else.
