Long convoluted process (9)

I believe the answer is:

rigmarole

(Other definitions for rigmarole that I've seen before include "Rambling account" , "Long, complicated and confusing procedure" , "garbled nonsense" , "Lengthy and complicated procedure" , "Complex procedure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
