make it out to have been
"John's decision to go ahead with the project did not constitute, as you make it out to have been, an act of defiance against the chairman's instruction."
Is it correct for me to say "make it out to have been," which corresponds with the noun phrase "an act of defiance"? Or should I say "make it out to have," so to make the phrase correspond with the verb "constitute"?
Thank you so much.
