      Why is a building called building when it is already been built?

A building is the result of acting of building. It is taking the verb build and making it as a noun building. Hence, we can say that here building acts as noun.
Word building can be either a noun  ( naming word ) or verb ( doing word ).
When the term ' building ' is used as in the sentence , ' she is building it ' ===Verb
When the term ' building ' is used as in sentence , ' building is huge '  ====Noun
Therefore the meaning of word ' building ' depends on context of the sentence and it can be either a verb or a noun.
