Yes, you can build the site now, on a free site address and connect the domain later when your website is ready.
Go to https://wordpress.com/start/free/ to start a free site.
On the Domains step, just add the name you want for your free site(eg. ‘freedomain’ not ‘freedomain.com’). Then the system will suggest an available free WordPress.com address. You can register this site without adding any plan.
We have tutorials available to help you in setting up your website with WordPress.com –

https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/When your website is ready, you can connect your domain to the website either through domain mapping or transferring the domain to WordPress.com
