Morphology
The meaning 'a final, culminating project' follows directly from combining capstone (the crowning/culminating element) with project (a planned piece of work). This is a straightforward noun–noun compound equivalent to 'final project' in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
Capstone project comes from the idea of a capstone, the top stone that finishes a wall or arch. So a capstone project is the final piece of work that shows everything a student has learned and marks the 'completion' of a course.
