Moving a lemon tree...

Hi,
 
Thanks to all those who replied regarding storm damage and yuccas a while back.
 
Unfortunately, it looks likely that I will have to move a lemon tree within next couple of weeks (due to building of a raised terrace on top of a water deposit, 30,000 litres).  It is only 4 or 5 years old, about 5 ft tall and 4ft branch spread with lots of flowers and fruit in various stages of maturity.  Any advice on how to lessen the disturbance to the tree and keep it growing happily again in its new position?  I've noticed really mature trees for sale in the local garden centres which I guess may have been transplanted from the ground into containers so maybe it is not such a big problem.
 
The weather here is still very unsettled with many people killed due to the flooding in many parts of Spain.  This sustained bad weather is very unusual for this part of Spain and even the farmers who always welcome the rain have had enough.
 
Cheers,
Maria,
Costa Blanca
