I am working on a project and charged my client some hours and money is in review state. The project is completed and the client wants to close the project. So should I ask him to close the contract right away or wait for the money to be available?

No, the client can close the contract now.

There is no protection for manual time, regardless of whether they were entered by mutual understanding or not. But as long as the client pays, that isn't an issue. For that it also doesn't matter if the contract is open or closed.

The client can close the project without issue. You will receive the funds based on the hourly payment schedule.

Jitendera:
You may tell the client:
"Harold,
Thank you for the opportunity to work on the project. As far as I know, I have completed the tasks that you asked me to do. You are welcome to close the contract now - and no more time will be billed. If there are additional tasks you would like me to work on, then you may keep the contract open and I will work on those tasks, logging time while I do so."
