Regulated as instructed (7)
I believe the answer is:
ordered
I believe this is a double definition.
'regulated' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'instructed' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ordered that I've seen before include "Charged; tidy" , "required" , "requested" , "well-organised" , "Gave instruction, commanded" .)
