Red tape? Not really. It's not as though the MLP, EqG, and IDW teams CAN'T coordinate; it's just difficult because each team more or less does its own thing.

But every once in a while, they'll make an effort to do so - like Friendship Games' ending aligning with the season five finale, and issues #51-60 of the comics and the Legends of Magic series, which took place more or less right alongside season seven.
