You don't say how big the window is, so it's hard to say how much deflection there will be in the center of the panel you want to install.
IMO DrewE is on the right track, but I would go further with at least a half inch frame around the window, then on top of that, put a structure as DrewE suggests. That would give you room for an inch of flex from the back of the half inch furring to the window glass. The thicker the frame, the more clearance you have.
You could trim the edges with a moulding of your choice.
The point is, I want ZERO deflection in the panel.
And it's the window over the bed in a RV. I haven't measured it exactly but something like 2' x 3' or in that ballpark.
