Well, I remember back in the early days of generative syntax, a great many things were considered reduced relative clauses, but I believe that analysis has not been current for some decades now.

I agree with Kathleen, but some of my colleagues are arguing that it is a reduced relative clause. Does anyone agree with them?

I think that it's just an adjective phrase, modified with a prepositional phrase.  Adjective phrases that are postmodified follow the noun rather than preceding it.  There are lots of examples.

What is the underlined phrase?

Thanks.
