Time is a abstraction, a filing system used to arrange events and memories into a logical system of cause and effect. Per relativity, space and time are not discrete entities, but a single construct called spacetime.

"Time" is used in a broad range of contexts - from technical to metaphorical, with meaning varying quite a lot. Others here already commented on the technical idea - and in a more human sense, I think that "time" is a tool to separate memories, sensation and plans/intents. It must be something that comes as part of the package with human mind, so that we don't just have a bunch of abstract, unlinked images in our heads.

So time only moves forward but if youre looking at a picture that's time encapsulated frozen stuck in place with no end but it also moves forward its really a construct because if you raised yourself as a child to be you and yourself so almost like child like time would only move so fast then so slow but even though you're your age it'd be like time never moves and so you just grow infinitely differently than others where most take time so seriously you don't so it changes differently almost uniquely

Almost everything is a construct. Even language is a construct. But that doesn't make it any less real.

Yeah sort of! Time does wonky things when you start going fast enough or get a mass heavy enough. It's certainly inconsistent. But is the perception of time a construct? Yeah sort of! For instance, an hour long and extremely complicated physics lecture will seem to take forever where as a fun date with me will go by super quick.
