Morphology
As a capitalized proper name, "New Deal" refers to a specific historical, large-scale set of government reforms under F.D.R.; the constituents 'new' + 'deal' only suggest a recent agreement or policy initiative and do not by themselves convey the specialized historical/political scope. A B1 learner who knows the words would get a vague sense of a 'new policy/agreement' but not the full, culturally specific meaning, so the expression is partially but not fully transparent.
Etymology
New Deal is now used for any big government plan because FDR's original New Deal promised a 'fresh start' like being dealt new cards. So calling something 'a New Deal' means a large, bold programme of reforms or public spending to fix a serious problem.
