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.) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Seems decent enough to me.
