Are there any idioms for making something less easy to understand, or for unnecessarily complicating a straightforward task?

My favorites for this scenario:

  • Don't muddy the waters...
  • Let's not boil the ocean like last time...

Maybe something water-body related, but probably not. I'm thinking more useful in a workplace scenario, but it would be cool if I could somehow work it into casual conversation too.

You're requesting a phrase or idiom, but why overcomplicate things? Just say overcomplicate.

overcomplicate: to complicate exessively (thefreedictionary)
