Given a large amount of money to acquire red construction (7)
I believe the answer is:
awarded
'given' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'a large amount of money to acquire red construction' is the wordplay.
'large amount of money' becomes 'wad' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to acquire' indicates putting letters inside.
'construction' is an anagram indicator (answer constructed from certain letters).
'red' with letters rearranged gives 'rde'.
'wad' enclosing 'rde' is 'warded'.
'a'+'warded'='AWARDED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awarded that I've seen before include "Gave a prize to" , "assigned" , "Bestowed on the basis of merit" , "Granted as a prize" , "Gave on the basis of merit" .)
