Yes, you COULD say that you “messed up the document,” as you asked in your request for a more descriptive word. But, to say that you “messed up the document” would be something more likely to be uttered verbally in casual conversation rather than to be inserted into a written document.
I also like, “over-complicated” since you mentioned that the adding of texts tended to deteriorate the document’s cohesion and cause some
confusion.
One word that could be appropriately used here is, “cluttered,” since the «texts» you’ve inserted apparently have done more to clutter the document than to add meaningful content.
The word, “clutter,” could be appropriately used here as either an adjective or a verb.
VERB, to clutter:
“My adding of the texts actually ended up cluttering the document, thereby making its message LESS clear rather than MORE.”
ADJECTIVE, cluttered:
“I added unnecessary content, which ended up causing the document to become cluttered and confusing.”
IN YOUR REQUEST, YOU ADDED, “it would be great if you tell me what is wrong with deteriorated.”
What is wrong with the verb, “deteriorated,” when used with the noun, “document,” is not that “deteriorated” is an intransitive verb and cannot take an object – IT CAN take an object. The verb, “to deteriorate” can be both transitive and intransitive.
The inappropriateness of the word, “deteriorate,” in your example has to do with its meaning.
The word, “deteriorate” means to make worse or make inferior in quality or value over time, or to impair (online Wiktionary, & Merriam Webster example: “Exposure to rain and sun will gradually deteriorate the paint.”)
To say that you deteriorated the document is not an appropriate use of the verb, “deteriorated,” because when you take into consideration the element of gradual degradation of quality, it just doesn’t work.
Let’s imaging this scenario: I added some texts to a document and deteriorated its cohesion and caused some confusion.
Can I say?
I messed up the document
Answer
overcomplicate definition–Oxford
verb [with object]
Make (something) more complicated than necessary.
‘the basic idea is quite simple but some people tend to overcomplicate it’
‘an overcomplicated tax system’
Informally, you can say “I messed up the document.” You’d want to use “damaged” instead of “deteriorated” because you need a transitive verb here, one that takes the object “its cohesion”. “Deteriorate” doesn’t take an object.
deteriorate (Oxford)

Hi, everyone:
I’m looking for an expression that means Even a brief talk between people with different interests is too much.
For example:
A likes movie. B likes books. Even a few words between them will make each other feel boring, and feel they talk too much.
By comparison.
A likes movie, B likes movie. Even a few hours talk will not make them feel boring or feel like talk too much.
I wonder if I could say «One word is too much between people with different interests» , IF not, could you tell me any similar expression?
More explanation:
This is an idiom in my language which partly has implication of the English idiom «Birds of a feather flock together». In particular, it means the opposite thing, that is «if people are of different interests, it is difficult to carry on a conversation for long» (three sentences are too many)
Best wishes

Possibly, «Oil and water don’t mix.»

Hi, tanager, thank you~!
But, here I want to do a literal translation.
Three sentences are too many when two people share a common interest or concern.

Hi hly2004,
Unfortunately, I can’t think of an idiom or proverb which comes any closer to what you’re after!
As for a literal translation, you could say:
Exchanging a few/three words (sentences) is too much when people have nothing in common.
(I like «words» better than «sentences»)

This is stretching it a bit but when you really don’t care to talk to someone or be around them because you just don’t have anything in common, you usually describe it as:
There’s no love lost between them.
