I agree, "constructed" is more precise and neutral in general, and this
term's usage on the ISO 639 website is another reason to prefer it.

(And, even though it's not very important, I will mention that I don't
agree with the statement on that talk page: 'A more precise term for
Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Interlingue, Lingua Franca Nova, Novial and
Interslavic is "planned language".' Language *planning* can be done with
all languages, not only constructed ones. Modern Turkish, Hebrew, Mandarin,
and many other languages that are definitely not constructed were
influenced by language planning activities.)
