If 2♦ shows that the 1♠ opening is worse than specified by their system, then 2♣ is a psych (or deviation) control... similar to Drury . Such calls are illegal in some jurisdictions.

Whether the 2♣ bid is legal depends on what conventions are allowed where you play. It's not legal anywhere to describe it as a "game force" if it's not.

It looks like that the correct explanation for the 2♣ bid would have been: "any gameforce, except partner's strength is less than xxx". If this is what they really play, it was legal if explained correctly.

It look primarily to be a disclosure issue:
1♠ = 5+, our agreement may be 11-16, but we understand it could be weaker
2♣ = forcing, artificial, forcing to game except opposite a "sub minimum" opening
2♦ = subminimum, 0-10 I guess
2♠ = non forcing, to play
In various places 1♠ may not be permitted unless it is 8+HCP, and artificial non-GF responses such as 2♣ are not always permitted.

As soon as the 2♠ bid is alerted or explained as to play either defender has a case for bidding if 2♣ had been properly explained as any invitational plus.
Come close enough to making that case and I'm adjusting in your favor.
Unless 1♠ was a flat out psyche and 2♠ WAS a legit continuation (slam try or probing for 3nt) we need to have a little chat with this pair. If this was the case, we still need to have a little chat with this pair.
