I believe the answer is:

put-up job

(Other definitions for put-up job that I've seen before include "Prearranged underhand deceitful enterprise" , "Prearranged deception" , "Deception arranged in advance" , "Something intended to deceive" , "Craftily conceived undertaking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
