Like trailer of the movie seems well done and complete so what exactly are they doing?

For a start, just because the trailer looks done doesn’t mean the movie is.
Obviously they’re going to show the parts of the movie that are already finished. That doesn’t mean all of it is. It probably means it’s all filmed, but that doesn’t mean that postproduction is done.
But also movies don’t just release the moment they’re finished. Release times are scheduled based on when the studio thinks it’ll do well. For example, January and February are referred to as “dump months” and rarely do big movies release during these times, for a few reasons. The main reason is probably that after the Christmas period, people are generally less inclined to spend whatever disposable income remains on entertainment. It’s also because the weather sucks and people don’t want to go out as much.
Eligibility for various awards can also be a factor, depending on what kind of film it is. Films released in January aren’t eligible for the Oscars until the next year, by which time most people will have forgotten about it.
It’s the same with any form of entertainment. Books, video games, movies, TV shows: they don’t release as soon as it’s done, they release whenever the marketing people think it’ll do best.
