If you mean "a daily routine that is rushed", then "rushed daily routine" is correct.
It's hard to see any meaning in "rushing daily routine".

With rushing daily routine I mean a daily routing being in hurry. So if I translate from Italian it should make sense instead of rushed which regards a person

If you mean "a daily routine where everyone and everything is in a hurry", then "rushed daily routine" is correct.
"rushing daily routine" makes no sense in English.
Direct translation is often problematic.

The best thing is always to show the phrase in context - ie provide the sentence or paragraph in which it occurs. This helps to avoid misunderstanding.
But I still believe that my points above are valid.
