Course names on application

I'm reapplying this year and had my verified transcripts transferred over. The problem is I copied the course names exactly from my online course register service. Some of them names are like "Gen Protein+Metab Bioc" for Biochemistry and "Cntem Biol In Human Affr" for Bioethics. Anatomy and Physiology shows up as "Human Anat+Physiology I".

Should I fix everything or leave it? The transcript is already verified and I'm afraid renaming a couple of the classes will increase the application time.

Change the names so that they match what's on your transcript. Some of those names are significantly different and AACOMAS might want you to change them later, which could delay your application verification. If you do it now, it shouldn't increase your application verification time at all - they don't look at your transcript/application until you submit.

Those are the actual names on my transcript but the ones I copied over were shortened.

Gen Protein+Metab Bioc is General Protein and Metabolism Biochemisty on my transcript.

I'm just worried that this might look bad to Adcoms. The transcript is already verified at this point and if I open it I'll have to have it re-verified. At least that's what the notice says when I try to change it.

Oh, so your coursework is already verified? That happened to me as well last year, but it's pretty rare.

If everything is verified and done with, I wouldn't worry about it. It's not uncommon for course names to have weird shortened versions even on official transcripts. Adcoms can still get an idea of what the courses were.
