"Play havoc with" = Tàn phá, gây rắc rối và làm gián đoạn công việc của ai.
Ví dụ

The fallout from Fico’s and Muscat’s alleged activities seems to confirm an observation that global institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have made for several years: endemic (dịch địa phương) corruption can play havoc with countries’ political and even macroeconomic stability (sự ổn định kinh tế vĩ mô) – not least because of its capacity to generate public discontent, particularly among young people. Moreover, one need only reflect on US President Donald Trump’s treatment of Ukraine in the past year to see how alleged assaults on the rule of law can become a strategic problem.
