Because the table is too long for columns, so the complier complies the PDF as below: The last column is missing and the horizontal line does not reach column 6- to 10. How could I adjust it so the table is in a page?

As it is, your table wouldn't even fit on A3 paper! You can set columns to a smaller size, use a smaller font size, set \tabcolsep to a smaller value (by default, it is 6pt). Also you can print it in landscape orientation. Some columns could use the c specifier so they have the minimal width w.r.t. their contents – a typical example being the first two columns. — Bernard, Jun 15 '19 at 08:50
You may try tabulary instead of tabularx. Then use sensible margin and print the tabular sidewise on an A3 page which you enclose as exhibit to the report. — Sveinung, Jun 15 '19 at 09:28

With a smaller font size, a reduced \tabcolsep and the proper use of X type columns from the tabularx package you can easily fit the table into the margins. To make the table narrower, I have also introduced symbols for the "Status" column. If your table will contain more entries it might not fit onto the page. In this case, you might want to use the xltabular package to allow for pagebreaks within the table. If you are interested in automating the numbers in the forst column (especially useful if you have to add a row inbetween) you might want to have a look at: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/21245/134144

How to make the content in cells centering? \centering seem not working though. — weilam06, Jun 15 '19 at 10:27
@weilam06: The contents of the cells are already horizontally centered. Do you alos want to vertically center the contents? — leandriis, Jun 15 '19 at 10:31
@weilam06: Add \renewcommand\tabularxcolumn[1]{m{#1}} to your preamble to alos vertically center the contents. — leandriis, Jun 15 '19 at 10:33
For the column that fill in the company name, how do I adjust the column width and height such that I can fill the table with whole page? — weilam06, Jun 15 '19 at 10:57
@weilam06: I am not sure if I understood your last request correctly, but the table is already is exactly as wide as the textwidth of the page. If this is not what you meant, could you please clarify what you mean with "fill the table with whole page"? — leandriis, Jun 15 '19 at 11:46
