The text is ambiguous, but my interpretation is that there are two problems:
1. A system that is overregulated in general--i.e., rules and regulations that are too elaborate and picky,
and
2. Individual rules that conflict or leave gaps because they are not coordinated.
These are not the same.

I see it now! "Regulacio'n" is a PROCESS; "reglas" is a NOUN OBJECT. At the semantic level, they are different CASES, so it's impossible to conjoin them. "Reglamiento" is the Spanish equivalent of English "regulation."

Two different things are happening here. I thought it was ambiguous at first, but now I realize that there's only one way to interpret it.

: See further explanation below. "Regulacio'n" is a process. (You were thinking of "reglamiento"). "Reglas" is a noun object. They are different semantic cases, so they can't be conjoined.

I think it's clear this is the same problem - regulacion y reglas are referred to in the text without a comma - they should be grouped together

alto nivel de regulaci�n y reglas descoordinadas y conflictivas
a level of regulation that is strict and, at the same time, uncoordinated and contradictory
"Strict" works better than "high" here.
