En otro foro nos dan varias opciones, unas que me parecen bastante decentes son estas:
"The wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly" "The mills of God grind slowly" "It all takes time" "The wheels of Justice grind ever so slowly" "Rome was not built in a day". Hope these help...

En inglés no existe un dicho igual, aunque JPablo le diste unas proximaciones. Quisiera añadir dos más.
Things need to go through a lot of bureaucratic red tape before anything can get done. .....bureaucratic mumbo jumbo before anything a get done.
