I believe the answer is:

look over

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inspect in detail' is the definition.
'look over' can be an answer for 'inspect' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'in detail' bit.

'appear to be finished' is the wordplay.
'appear' becomes 'look' (synonyms).
'to be finished' becomes 'over' ('over' can be similar in meaning to 'finished').
'look'+'over'='LOOK-OVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for look over that I've seen before include "Read through briefly" , "Inspect" .)
