Plot Contrivance 

Something that happens in the plot that is highly unlikely to happen, though still technically possible.

Different from plot hole as a plot hole is something that should be impossible to happen.
A scene featuring Q giving 007 his gadgets is a staple of James Bond films.
Now imagine if the film did not feature this and we see 007 using a never-before-seen gadget to get out of a tight situation. This would be a plot contrivance, as the audience would have zero reason to believe that 007 would have a gadget of this kind, though him having this gadget is still technically not impossible, preventing it from being a plot hole.

Contrived 

Something that is created in a way that feels artificial and unrealistic, as apposed to something that arises spontaneously through nature.
Waluigi was only created for the purposes of giving Wario a Tennis Partner; He only exists to be Roster Filler. Contrived because he wasn't created organically through the creators own passion.

contrivium 

all those crazy science fiction materials with bizarre properties used to explain how the space travel gets around the laws of science.
contrivium is infinitely strong, lightweight, a room temperature superconductor, heatproof, and constantly emits high energy B.S. particles that can be used as a source of almost limitless energy.
engineer: "oh no! an engineering problem! what will we do?"

other engineer: "just build it out of contrivium!"

engineer: "oh yeah I forgot about that!"

ecumenically contrived 

A proven willingness to creatively modify scripture, oppress alternative translations and categorically deny contrary, dis-confirming evidence ... all in a desperate attempt to satisfy the criteria of messiahship.
If you came to understand that the 'virgin birth' was ecumenically contrived, would you still need to believe it? What about walking on water...?

Contraverse 

A cross between contridict and controversial in other words s argueing with themselves while contridicting.
The lady was very Contraverse with herself in a argumentative style.

controversy

A huge debate over something that alot of people do/don't agree on. I don't know if you can even call it a "debate", more like a massive argument.
The da vinci code movie as well as the book have caused controversy.
