Scheduled to appear and construct, we're told (6)

I believe the answer is:
billed
'scheduled' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'construct we're told' is the wordplay.
'construct' becomes 'build' (synonyms).
'we're told' shows a homophone (sound like).
'build' is a homophone of 'BILLED'.
'to appear and' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for billed that I've seen before include "Listed in a programme; charged" , "Advertised" , "Caressed" , "Sent an invoice" .)
