Answer

Complicated refers to something that is difficult to understand or very intricate.

Complicating means to make something more difficult or confusing.

Answer

Complicated is a participle adjective.  It looks like a past participle verb but it's an adjective.  It describes a situation or event.
Complicating is a verb. It does not belong in your example sentence.  
Use it in continuous tenses like this:  London's streets are complicating the problem.
