I don't think Augustine is reading anything into תכלית. He's not reading Hebrew at all. He's reading Latin 'perfectum'. So to a large extent, your approach is asking the wrong question. If you want to know what
Augustine thought, just look at Latin 'perfectum'. If you want to know whether Augustine's view incidentally overlaps at all with the Hebrew, you need to compare the semantic ranges of תכלית and 'perfectum'.
