Update: I find that I’m still using “construction”.
I note that it would agree will with the word “construct”. Most social constructs are things that are true because we believe in them, subjunctively sustained. There’s a bit of a negative vibe on “construct”, but it’s so neurotic there’s no way it can survive and mostly it’s just trying to say “we can change it! It’s our choice!” which is true.
