The carving was started on Oct 4, 1927 and "completed" on October 31, 1941. The full carving as it was originally designed was never fully completed.

The monument on Rushmore was intended to honor presidents of the United States, not founding fathers. It just so happens, perhaps not coincidentally, that two of the men everybody agrees were among the greatest presidents, Washington and Jefferson, were also founding fathers. Everybody also agrees that Lincoln is one of the greatest presidents, certainly second only to Wshington and there are those who would rate him above Washington. As for Teddy Roosevelt, he may have seemed more important when the monument was being sculpted, in the 1930's, than he does now. Even then there were those who felt he was not important enough to be included with the other three but he was a cousin of Franklin Roosevelt who was president when the project was under way so what are you going to do? Michael Montagne Theodore Roosevelt is the backbone and founder of the national park system. Roosevelt was an avid outdoorsman and he loved to travel the country. That could be why he is on there.

it is an official symbol because it is where the faces of the first four presidents of the United States is carved.

According to outdoorplaces.com, it had to do with the properties of the rock. There were actually a couple of occasions where the rock had to be re-blasted to correct mistakes and the intended order was changed at that time.
