The given expression to solve is:

\[
\left( \frac{2}{15} + \frac{7}{12} \right) \cdot \frac{30}{103} - \left( 2 : 2 \frac{1}{4} \right) \cdot \frac{9}{32}
\]

Let's break down the steps to solve this:

1. **Evaluate** \( \frac{2}{15} + \frac{7}{12} \):
   - Find the least common denominator (LCD) for \( \frac{2}{15} \) and \( \frac{7}{12} \), which is 60.
   - Convert each fraction:
     \[
     \frac{2}{15} = \frac{8}{60}, \quad \frac{7}{12} = \frac{35}{60}
     \]
   - Add the fractions:
     \[
     \frac{8}{60} + \frac{35}{60} = \frac{43}{60}
     \]

2. **Multiply** \( \frac{43}{60} \) by \( \frac{30}{103} \):
   \[
   \frac{43}{60} \cdot \frac{30}{103} = \frac{1290}{6180} = \frac{43}{206}
   \]

3. **Evaluate** \( 2 : 2 \frac{1}{4} \):
   - Convert \( 2 \frac{1}{4} \) to an improper fraction:
     \[
     2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}
     \]
   - Divide \( 2 \) by \( \frac{9}{4} \):
     \[
     2 : \frac{9}{4} = 2 \cdot \frac{4}{9} = \frac{8}{9}
     \]

4. **Multiply** \( \frac{8}{9} \) by \( \frac{9}{32} \):
   \[
   \frac{8}{9} \cdot \frac{9}{32} = \frac{72}{288} = \frac{1}{4}
   \]

5. **Final Expression**:
   - Now, substitute back into the original expression:
     \[
     \frac{43}{206} - \frac{1}{4}
     \]
   - To subtract these fractions, find the LCD, which is 412.
     \[
     \frac{43}{206} = \frac{86}{412}, \quad \frac{1}{4} = \frac{103}{412}
     \]
   - Subtract:
     \[
     \frac{86}{412} - \frac{103}{412} = \frac{-17}{412} = -\frac{17}{412}
     \]

### Final Answer:
\[
-\frac{17}{412}
\]
