No, DONE shifts it to the repeat date and like this it will never end.

In this case I would vote for to use a new property.

An example like

* TODO send weekly report
  DEADLINE: <2013-07-27 Sat 18:00 ++1w -1d>

could then be terminated with

* TODO send weekly report until end of terminated contract
  DEADLINE: <2013-07-27 Sat 18:00 ++1w -1d>
  END_DATE: <2013-12-31 Tue>

When implementing this, consider also whether the END_DATE should be an
agenda entry on its own and of which kind, warning period etc. I tried
to make an example that shows this issue.
