There is a 1 hour timeout for entities that are marked for deconstruction - this was done for performance issues way back around v0.12.x from memory.
I have issues with this feature, because I plan and place ghosts a lot, and this feature messes up things like on the video below.
All I want is an option in settings that turns off this feature.

Note, the timeout is actually 5 hours. But this has been discussed internally and some change is wanted but has not been done.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
