Morphology
The meaning ('a planned building or engineering task') is directly and compositionally derived from 'construction' (building) + 'project' (planned piece of work). This noun+noun combination follows a common and transparent compounding pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Construction project combines construction 'building' and project 'planned task', giving a clear image of people following a plan to build or repair a house, road, or bridge. That's why the phrase means 'a planned and organized building job'.
