I'd call it an adjective post modifier. It qualifies "something." Let's try something simple.

I think a complement follows the "being verb." (She is wrong!)

What about this sentence? Is "wrong" a noun here?

"What wrong did I do ?"

It's okay, You're right, it's a noun.

I often hear, "What wrong have I done you?"

You probably won't hear it among the uneducated.
