Does anyone think it's possible for the opposite to happen? Wherein something is reconstructed, giving reasons as to how it could feasibly work, and then totally deconstructed, showing that no, it's impossible for said thing to work and there's no way it ever will.

Almost any Deconstruction that's an ongoing saga (rather then a stand alone story) will inevitably become a Reconstruction over time. The Venture Brothers example here is the most extreme example of that, but I believe that will inevitably be the destiny of A Song Of Ice And Fire and Game Of Thrones.

That's why Moore was so offended I think by the idea of a Sequel to Watchmen, because he doesn't want Watchmen reconstructed.

I also definitely see The Dark Knight Strikes Again as Reconstructing what Dark Knight Returns deconstructed.

The reason is that a Deconstruction has no need to be ongoing, once you've made your point continual repeating it is just a predictable and cliche as the cliches you originally Deconstructed where. But another reason is that it is what fans want, those who like Deconstruction the most like them because they loved the original genre, and ultimately do want it reconstructed latter.
