AFAIK - once the actual installation has begun - there is not way out.

One can Force a Shutdown via any means possible including the Power Button .

The disconnect all external Drives and connect to charger.

Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

This may or may not allow the upGrade process to complete

You have posted this in the iPhone forum. I am going to ask the hosts to move this to the MacBook Pro forum and/or Monterey to get you better visibility and assistance.
