Morphology
The meaning 'the date by which an obligation is to be paid' is directly and compositionally derived from 'due' (owed/required) + 'date' (a calendar day). This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent combination and a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The phrase due date comes from a simple picture of a calendar day when something is due, or 'owed', and the date marks when you must pay or hand it in. So, due date means 'the date by which a payment or obligation must be made'.
