Calcification in soft tissue, such as muscle, is called 'Calcinosis'.
If it progresses into ossification (which involves the orderly deposition of calcium), it is called 'myositis ossificans'. However, the condition can occur in other connective tissue as well and may result from any kind of injury, including but not limited to inflammation. The term 'heterotropic ossification' has been proposed to replace it.

What is calcium buildup on the wrist?
Calcium buildup, anywhere in the body in general, is called 'calcification' or 'calcinosis' if it occurs in soft tissue. However, I'm having trouble answering your question because you have not specified what part of the wrist you are referring to (i.e, bone, muscle, cartilage, or cutaneous tissue.) For example, calcium buildup specifically in the skin is called 'calcinosis cutis' and is a feature of diseases such as scleroderma.
