If its commercial work the customer will have a view on this, but it should have been in the contract.
For wedding and portrait customers, I tend to update my portfolio at the year end and I'll not use anything that's not fully delivered to the customer.

If there is no contract, there's a good chance that the customer will assume, incorrectly, that they own copyright of commissioned work. If you are in any doubt at all, do absolutely nothing until you've been paid.
Then you can do what you like with them, legally, but the client may have a different view, rightly or wrongly, so it's a) polite, b) professional, and c) prudent - if you value future commissions - to keep them fully informed of your plans.
This should all be agreed up front. Regardless of the law, it can be a very touchy subject for photographers, clients and subjects.

I've just done an interiors shoot for an interior designer, I agreed I wouldn't use the shots myself till they had updated their website with the new shots so that anyone following the link to their website got the most up to date version, not the outdated one. Client is happy, I'm happy, job done.
