Got pier rebuilt for undertaking to boost self-appraisal (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
ego trip
'undertaking to boost self-appraisal' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'got pier rebuilt' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' indicates an anagram.
'got'+'pier'='gotpier'
'gotpier' is an anagram of 'EGO-TRIP'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ego trip that I've seen before include "Experience enjoyed by the conceited" , "morale-boosting experience" , "Self-aggrandising conduct" , "Self-glorification episode" , "Act of self-glorification" .)
