Complicate means to make something more difficult or confusing. Budget refers to the plan for managing money.
Together, complicate the budget means to make the financial planning more difficult. For example:
If we buy all new office furniture at once, it might complicate the budget for next month. - Spending too much at one time could make it harder to control expenses.
Expanding the project could complicate the budget because we would need more money. - Making the project bigger might increase costs and make budgeting harder.
