Indefinite Time:
ایسا کام جو ماضی میں ہوا ہو لیکن کام ہونے کا وقت مخصوص نا ہو۔
The present perfect tense is used to describe something happened in the past but exact time it happened is not important and it has a relationship with the past.
We do not use exact time expressions with the present perfect. We can’t say:

I did my work yesterday (Correct).

- I have seen Faisal mosque.
