Time is a construct in that we humans decided to measure it in a certain way. We have concepts of running out of time, managing our time, measuring time using calenders and clocks, even knowing that time always goes forward and never stops allows us to do things a certain way. All of these are social constructs, and without them, we probably wouldn’t be able to think about things that have to do with time like history for example.

If you are talking about time like in physics, yes time can be malleable. Time goes slower if you are travelling close to the speed of light, or if you are near a black hole out in space.
