Redtape is a derisive term for regulations that are considered excessive or for bureaucratic procedures that are considered time- and effort-consuming.
Redtape generally includes such requirements as the filling out of paperwork, obtaining of licenses, having multiple people or committees have to approve a decision, and various low level rules that make conducting affairs slower and/or more difficult.
One origin tale circulated is that all American Civil War veterans' records were bound in redtape, and the difficulty in accessing them led to the current use of the term, but there is evidence that the term was in use in its modern sense sometime before this.
