Morphology
The meaning 'a detailed and precise examination' is directly and transparently composed from 'fine-grained' (highly detailed/granular) + 'analysis' (systematic examination). This adjective+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun fine-grained analysis comes from the image of tiny grains: fine means 'very small' and grain is a tiny piece you need to look at closely. So, studying those tiny pieces gives a clear picture of a 'detailed' study, and that's why the phrase means a careful look at small differences.
