Similar words にわか 作づく り にわか作り also means something made hastily or on the spot, but emphasizes suddenness or improvisation rather than the 'overnight' timeframe.
急きゅう 造ぞう 急造 is a more formal term for hurried construction or production, often used in technical or military contexts.
Etymology Compound of 一夜 (いちや, 'one night') and 造り (づくり, 'making, construction'). The literal meaning 'built in one night' extends metaphorically to anything done hastily as a temporary measure.
