Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'extraordinary' (very remarkable) modifies 'vision' (an imagined plan or capacity to imagine), yielding 'remarkable imagination/foresight.' This adjectival-noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the phrase.
Etymology
Extraordinary vision uses the simple idea of vision as seeing. Imagine someone with very clear eyes or a telescope who can 'see' far ahead and spot chances others miss, so the phrase means a special ability to imagine big new plans.
