Deconstruction vs ghost placement

Allow ghost placement (blueprint) to cancel deconstruction of same element on same position.

To me this sounds like a no-brainer, but for it to be missing I suppose there are valid reasons.
So add it with a modifier key or toggle option in settings.

In case you didn't know, one can cancel deconstruction orders with [Shift]-[Deconstruction planner] on the entity

I do know that.

With bigger blueprints and multiple spread out partly overlapping areas its not that simple anymore.

I know the bots just do some extra unneeded work and it gets finished anyway shortly later, but it still feels a little wasteful.
