My initial thought is that "make" + adj can behave this way. I think of

"Let's make the ship secure."

        "Let's make secure the ship."

"Let's make the dinner delicious."

        "Let's make delicious the dinner."

This is interesting because I  usually think of obj. complements as
nouns. Are there other verbs that can have a moveable objective
complement?
