That sounds more like it could be Wrap It Up (the work gets a last-minute finale) or Left Hanging (the ending leaves numerous questions unanswered). Cut Short is usually for works that get cancelled before they could get an ending.

Seconding Wrap It Up when it's because of outside factors like the series getting canceled- Cut Short is when it just suddenly ends

Cosmic Deadline overlaps, but also applies to planned endings- basically it's the tendency for plot threads to mostly end at the end of a work, which gets really noticeable when the pacing suddenly gets accelerated.
