I have a Hungarian work permit (with 1 year validity) but haven't traveled yet to Hungary. I have to wait 3 more months to go to Hungary due to delays in the work agreement with the client.

Now I have another opportunity to travel to Finland for a shorter period (20 days) and applied for a Schengen visa at the VFS center.

Can Finland cancel my Hungarian work permit in order to grant the Schengen business visa, or will I keep the work permit? What is the procedure in such cases?

With a valid Hungarian D visa you can enter Finland directly.

As stated in Timatic, the database used by airlines, regarding Finland:

Visa required, except for passengers with a valid D visa issued by another Schengen Member State for a maximum stay of 90 days.

I have contacted Finland Embassy and got confirmation that, it is not possible to apply for another schengen visa when the person is holding a work permit from any schengen area. But the person can travel Schengen countries only after reaching Hungary and immigration formalities are completed from there.
