Rationalisation

‘Rationalisation’ is a term that has been used to refer to a type of reasoning, which is the act, process, or result of rationalizing, which is a way of describing, interpreting, or explaining something (such as bad behavior) that makes it seem proper, more attractive, etc.© 2019 Merriam-Webster
Justification is arguably a type of rationalisation, but not a mere rationalisation but one that is justified. a mere rationalisation isn't justified. The difference between being justified or not is e.g. if you could defend yourself in a certain way or not without going to jail for life. so it's a big conceptual difference often. Feeling something is justified, and something being justified are distinct things altho they overlap in a normal person.
