Money laid out in reconstruction of temple, largely providing work (10)
I believe the answer is:
employment
'work' is the definition.
(I know that work can be written as employment)
'money laid out in reconstruction of temple largely' is the wordplay.
'laid out' indicates an anagram.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'reconstruction of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'reconstructions of' mean this).
'largely' means to remove the last letter.
'money' anagrammed gives 'oymen'.
'temple' with its final letter taken off is 'templ'.
'templ' is an anagram of 'emplt'.
'oymen' going within 'emplt' is 'EMPLOYMENT'.
'providing' is the link.
(Other definitions for employment that I've seen before include "The utilisation of something" , "Paid work" , "Utilization" , "A person's work or profession" .)
