I worked once for a German company that used the German version of overengineered quite a lot, and they used 'eierlegende Wollmilchsau' for this, which is analytically not correct, but everybody understood it as overengineered. In general I think you have to give more context, to translate correctly, i.e. depending on context with 'klimbim', 'Spielerei'.
