Explanation:
It refers to how the rebar (reinforcement) inside the concrete is joined. This link in Spanish has some good explanations of your terms as well as drawings:

http://www.carreteros.org/normativa/ehe/apartados/66.htm

Here are refs. in English:

The Stonesmith BARTARGET is a safe, fast and simple rebar-connecting device for use with eight-, 10- or 12-inch block. It ensures that ***rebar splice overlaps*** are code compliant, that the rebar is centered in the CMU cell, and reduces the risk of muscular skeletal stress in lifting block over rebar.

However, three ***overlap splices*** with a splice length of 800 millimeters (40 times bar diameter) were used in the longitudinal direction.

***Lap splices*** are formed when two bars are overlapped for a certain length and tied together. The length of the overlap is called the lap length and is specified in the Project Plans. A sufficient laplength is needed to adequately transfer loads between the bars. Lap lengths can be longer than specified, but never shorter. Inadequate lap length can cause severe cracking in the concrete around the lap.

Here's your last expression: lapped splice for welded wire fabric

It states that a ***lapped splice for welded wire fabric*** in tension shall be made so that the two outermost transverse
wires of one sheet of fabric overlap the two outermost
transverse wires of the sheet being lapped.
