This has become a very common problem now a days. You can file a consumer case against the builder asking for the flat or the money along with compensation. You can further file a civil suit for recovery on money or for the specific performance of the contract executed. But first for the start it would be better that you issue a legal notice against the builder putting forth your issues and demands.
The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you.
Talk to a real lawyer about your legal issue.

possession is not delivered on time, a purchaser can send a notice to the builder, claiming refund of the amounts paid along with interest and/or damages. “The buyer can also file a consumer complaint for ‘deficiency in service’ as defined under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 against the builder,”
You must take legal action immediately as the limitation period to file a complaint is running out and if you delay further you may not be able to get the remedy consumer protection and will have to look for alternative remedy. In order to suggest you clearly we are require to see necessary documents and the terms and conditions there of.
You can take him to consumer court or file a FIR.
