Because it has a nymph stage (small version of an adult) instead of a pupae or cocooning stage in the complete. Also, the complete has a larval stage from which it changes from. Incomplete is egg->nymph->adult, while complete is egg->larva-> pupae->adult. The complete varies much from it's starting larval stage while incomplete is mostly unchanged in appearance.

They go through incomplete, or gradual metamorphosis. They first develop to a nymph, a 'mini adult' , hatch through their egg (A soft tiny one) , and grow into adults.
