Is there a specific term in Software Engineering, where a supposed refactoring makes things more complex than before the refactoring. Not thinking about "incidental complexity" here. Is there another term that describes this?

You need to be concrete and say what you mean. Like, a lot of bad refactors are people trying to add a lot of flexibility for the sake of it ('YAGNI'). And others are people applying aesthetics to their code-bases. For example, requiring that everything be in separate files.

Others are people trying to philosophise taxonomies which seem right if you squint but are fragile to future changes and end up ruining maintainability.
