What does it mean that nothing can be added to God's work?

Answered in 1 source

It signifies that God's work of salvation is complete and perfect, requiring no additional human effort.

The assertion that nothing can be added to God's work emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ's atoning sacrifice. The preacher states that God's actions cannot be altered or improved upon, as they are eternally perfect. This is underlined in Ecclesiastes 3:14, which asserts that whatever God does will stand forever and cannot be changed. In the context of salvation, this truth reassures believers that their justification and standing before God are wholly based on Christ’s finished work, not subject to human merit or error. Therefore, any attempt to add to God's grace only leads to condemnation, as revealed in Revelation 22:18-19.
