If the possession is not given till date, then your client can claim exemption.
What is the evidence for advance money paid to the builder? whether any agreement has been made.
If the agreement was made on that period, cancel that agreement, pass a book entry for returning of advance payment, put a new agreement by mentioning the advance amount, pass a book entry for the fresh payment of advance, pay the remaining amount within two years, take the possession and claim exemption.
If the agreement was not made, pass a book entry for the returning of advance amount, again pass a entry for the fresh payment of advance amount.
Have a gap between cancellation and fresh payment.
This is my opinion. Let us see, what other experts say.

in my opinion your client can not claim exemption u/s 54 as he not taken the possession, not paid the amount and not provided in any deed or agreement.
