I thought these two words mean the same thing, until I read the following sentence: "Comprehensive, complete and mature C++ frameworks that save lots of work and help bringing the product to market sooner".

I am confused by the two bold words above.

complete: With all parts included; with nothing missing; full.

comprehensive: Broadly or completely covering.

With the above explanation, I still can not understand the difference between them, can they replace each other?

Can someone explain it"The list may not be complete." be replaced with "The list may not comprehensive." ?
