Morphology
as-built + document
The term 'as-built document' is compositionally transparent: 'as-built' (meaning 'in the state/as it was built') combined with 'document' yields a record of how something was actually constructed. Although technical, the meaning follows directly from the constituents, so a B1 learner who knows 'as' and 'built' could infer it.
Etymology
As-built document comes from the simple practice of making a drawing or note that shows a building exactly 'as built'. Someone checks the finished work and writes down every change, so the as-built part means how it was built and the document is the record. That's why the term means the official record of what was actually completed.
