Is it possible to have a special planetary 'building' item, that costs 0 production, and stays in queue untill canceled.

All this will do is cause planetary production points to be stockpiled, untill they are needed, allowing expencive items to be built quickly?

This already happens, if ordering many cheap items (I ordered many freighters, and have 6000 production stocked on one planet, as all excess is added to count), so should be easy to implement.

It would be useful for emergencies, and just prevents production being sold for money.

Stockpiling wasn't a planned feature. Actually building was planned to be exactly as research currently works with all exta production lost. Current "stockpiling" is a side effect of the implementation. So "stockpiling" stay as is and no other implementaion planned
