Interfering, constructing giant perm (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tampering

'interfering' is the definition.
(tampering is a kind of interfering)

'constructing giant perm' is the wordplay.
'constructing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'giant'+'perm'='giantperm'
'giantperm' is an anagram of 'TAMPERING'.
